ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises a retainer that is inserted from the front surface of the connector housing and locked to the housing in a temporary locking position and in a main locking position, wherein the state of the retainer in the main locking position can easily be confirmed by visual inspection or by using an inspection probe. The retainer has main locking arms comprising main locking projections which prevent the retainer from being pushed in when the retainer is in the temporary locking position, and which prevent the retainer from being pulled out when the retainer is in the main locking position. The main locking projections are exposed through the housing when the retainer is in the main locking position. The housing has supporting parts that support the back surface of the main locking arms in the vicinity of the main locking projections when the retainer is in the main locking position.
