ABSTRACT:
A connector includes a retainer for retaining metal terminals within a housing. The retainer includes provisional retaining projections and complete retaining projections. The retainer can be held on a housing in three depth positions. Namely, in the first insertion position (free position) of the retainer, the metal terminal is allowed to be inserted and withdrawn. In the second insertion position (provisional retained position), the provisional retaining portion engages the stabilizers to prevent the withdrawal of the metal terminal but allows the insertion of the metal terminal. In the third insertion position (complete retained position), the complete retaining projection is projected into and engaged in a retaining hole in the metal terminal, thereby preventing the withdrawal and insertion of the metal terminal.
