ABSTRACT:
When a retainer (30) is at a full locking position, back ribs (41) are located at positions right behind reinforcing portions (38). Thus, if a force acts to withdraw terminal fittings (10) and the retainer (30) tries to incline by having retaining portions (32) pushed backward, the reinforcing portions (38) come into contact with the back ribs (41) to prevent any further inclination of the retainer (30). Thus, even in a connector (1) in which cavities (21) are arranged in a row, the terminal fittings (10) can be reliably held retained by suppressing the inclination of the retainer (30). Since it is sufficient to provide the back ribs (41) in the housing (20), at least the retainer (30) needs not change its shape.
