ABSTRACT:
Full engagement of a male and female connector is prevented if terminal retainers 13,36 are not fully inserted. A detecting protrusion 15 protrudes from the anterior end of a female connector housing 10. When a male retainer 36 is in a temporary stopping position, a female connector contact protrusion 55 is located inside a fitting detecting groove 50 that connects with a hood member 31. As a result, in the case where the retainer 36 is not completely fitted with the connector housing 30, the detecting protrusion 15 and the female connector contact protrusion 55 make contact, thereby preventing the female and male connectors from being fitted in the correct position. A female retainer 13 can engage the hood of a male connector housing in the usual way.
