ABSTRACT:
A connector includes a connector housing and a retainer, which can be moved from a temporarily secured position to a fully secured position in the connector housing. The retainer secures a terminal in the connector housing and cannot be erroneous moved into the fully secured position. The connector comprises a connector housing with a retainer insertion hole in a front surface, which reaches flexibly deformable spaces of lances provided in cavities. The retainer is inserted into the retainer insertion hole and held in a temporarily secured position. After a terminal member is inserted into the housing, the retainer is further pushed into the retainer insertion hole and moved to a fully secured position, which restricts flexible deformation of the lances. The direction that the retainer is moved into the temporarily secured position is generally at right angles to the direction the retainer is moved from the temporarily secured position to the fully secured position.
