ABSTRACT:
An assembled connector (10) comprises: a main housing (20) having a plurality of terminal-containing chambers (21) juxtaposed in the interior thereof and being provided on a top portion with a lock arm (22) adapted to engage with a mating connector; a plurality of subhousings (30) having a plurality of terminal-containing chambers (31) juxtaposed in the interior thereof and being adapted to be detachably coupled to the main housing (20); a coupling mechanism (50) for coupling each of the subhousings (30) to the main housing (20) in a manner of slide engagement; and a retainer mechanism (60) for engaging with a terminal (40) at a regular position in each terminal-containing chamber to hold the terminal (40) in the regular position. The coupling mechanism (50) is constructed so that the subhousing (30) is detachably coupled to the main housing (20) while sliding relatively on the main housing (20) in the same direction as an insertion direction of the terminal (40) with respect to the main housing (20). Alternatively, the coupling mechanism (50) is detachably constructed so that the subhousing (30) is coupled to the main housing (20) while sliding relatively on the main housing (20) in a direction perpendicular to an insertion direction of the terminal (40) with respect to the main housing (20).
