ABSTRACT:
A connector (10) has a retainer (12) assembled into a housing (11), a catch (D1) of a disengaging jig (D) is inserted into a jig-inserting portion (17) in the retainer (12) to unlock the retainer (12) at a full locking position by the principle of the lever. A support (18) projects out on the housing (11) and serves as a fulcrum of the disengaging jig (D). A distance between the jig inserting portion (17) of the retainer (12) as a point of action and the supporting portion (18) as the fulcrum can be made long. Thus, upon unlocking the retainer (12) using the disengaging jig (D), the retainer (12) can be lifted up to a position where the retainer (12) can be sufficiently unlocked and a load acting at the point of action becomes larger to facilitate unlocking even if an inclining amount of the disengaging jig (D) is small.
