ABSTRACT:
To prevent disengagement of a connector from a predetermined position after installation, while ensuring an easy installation, arm stoppers are connected to a retainer by strap-like connection portions. An engagement hole is provided at each of opposite sides of a connector body, and a locking arm is provided outwardly of the engagement hole. When the retainer is to be attached to the connector body, each arm stopper is inserted slightly into the engagement hole. In this condition, the locking arm can be flexed inwardly, and therefore the removal of the connector is simplified. After the connector is attached to a panel, the arm stopper is inserted deep into the engagement hole, and therefore the locking arm cannot be flexed inwardly, and a retaining pawl cannot be moved and the connector cannot be removed from the panel.
