Connector

摘要

A female connector (F) includes a retainer (30) to be housed into a mounting hole (14) and selectively mounted, in a housing (10), at a partial locking position for allowing insertion of terminal fittings (50) and a full locking position for locking already inserted terminal fittings (50). A base (33) is at a rear end of the retainer (30) in a mounting direction into the housing (10) and is located outside a mounting hole (14) when the retainer (30) is at the partial locking position. Backlash eliminating portions (21, 22, 41, 42) are formed on the base (33) and in the housing (10) and are configured to restrict a relative displacement of the retainer (30) with respect to the housing (10) when the retainer (30) is at the partial locking position.

1. A connector, comprising:
a housing with a mounting hole open into the housing and a guide rib formed on an outer surface of the housing for stabilizing a connecting posture when the connector is being fit to a mating connector; a terminal fitting to be inserted into the housing; a retainer mounted into the mounting hole and selectively movable between a partial locking position for allowing an inserting operation of the terminal fitting and a full locking position for locking the already inserted terminal fitting; a base defined at a rear end of the retainer in a mounting direction into the housing and located outside the mounting hole when the retainer is at the partial locking position; and backlash eliminating portions formed on the base and in the housing and configured to restrict a relative displacement of the retainer with respect to the housing by contact each other when the retainer is at the partial locking position, the backlash eliminating portion of the housing being formed on the guide rib.
