ABSTRACT:
A retainer 20 is rotatably mounted on a connector housing 11. When the retainer 20 is pivoted toward the connector housing 11, engaging projections 25 engage terminal fittings 16 inserted into corresponding terminal fitting cavities 3. Each engaging projection 25 is formed with a push-out slanting surface 25b and a push-in slanting surface 25c, the slanting surfaces 25b and 25c being sloped inversely from each other. The retainer 20 is formed with an elastic member 26 for producing a spring force. The elastic member 26 renders such a force as to push back the terminal fittings 16 until shoulder portions 16b of the terminal fittings 16 pass the push-out slanting surfaces 25b, while rendering such a force as to push the terminal fittings 16 to their proper mount positions after the shoulder portions 16b of the terminal fittings 16 reach the push-in slanting surfaces 25c.
