ABSTRACT:
A male housing (60) has a receptacle (61) for receiving a mating female housing (20) and cavities (63) for receiving male terminal fittings (50). A retainer (70) is mounted in the male housing (60) and locks the male terminal fittings (50) when the retainer (70) reaches a full locking position. The retainer (70) has a detector (74). The detector (74) is in a fitting space (64) of the receptacle (61) for the female housing (20) when the retainer (70) is at a position before the full locking position, and interferes with a rib (24) of the female housing (20) to prevent a connecting operation. On the other hand, the detector (74) is outside the fitting space (64) when the retainer (70) is at the full locking position thereby avoiding the interference with the rib (24) of the female housing (20) to permit connection.
