ABSTRACT:
A connector has a housing (10) with cavities (12) for accommodating terminal fittings (30). A retainer-mounting hole (17) is formed in a side of the housing (10) and communicates with the cavities (12). A retainer (50) can be mounted in the retainer-mounting hole (17) at a predetermined normal depth to lock the terminal fittings (30) in the cavities (12). The retainer (50) has side locks (61) at both sides of the retainer (50) that lock to a corresponding side to-be-locked surface (22) in the housing (10). The retainer (10) also has an intermediate lock (68) at a central position of the retainer (50) that locks to an intermediate to-be-locked surface (22) in the housing (10). The blocking strength of the intermediate lock (68) exceeds the locking strength of the side locks (61).
