ABSTRACT:
A connector member for use in connecting electrical wiring is received by another connector part and has a housing body for receiving metal wiring terminals. In a recess of the housing having opposed side walls, there is a resilient locking arm having a head portion. The locking arm locks with another connector part and there are gaps formed between the head portion and the side walls. A terminal retainer is mounted on the housing for locking the metal terminals in place. To prevent a wire or other foreign body being trapped in the gaps between the arm and the side walls, the terminal retainer has a pair of gap blocking portions which, in its locked position, lie on opposite sides of the head portion of the locking arm so as to partially block these gaps.
