ABSTRACT:
To assure that there does not arise a malfunction that a cable connected to a crimp terminal is disconnected from a connector housing, and moreover, the cable is electrically incorrectly connected to the crimp terminal crimped on the cable, after the cable is drawn outside of a connector housing, it is once bent in the downward direction while extending through a cable receiving groove formed at one end of a slide housing, and subsequently, the cable is retained by a cable retainer adapted to be inserted into the connector housing on a cable receiving portion. At this time, the cable is retained in a cable retaining groove formed at one end of the cable retainer while extending through a cable extension groove formed at one end of the cable receiving portion. Thus, the cable is firmly held by the cable retainer in the squeezed state in cooperation with the cable receiving portion without any possibility that the cable is disconnected from the connector housing. Alternatively, the cable may include a plurality of slide housings each adapted to be slidably inserted into the connector housing. The slide housings are arranged one above another to provide a multi-stage connector.
