Connector having a terminal retainer with pressing means

摘要

A connector (10) includes a retainer (30) made of synthetic resin for mounting in a housing (11) at a partial locking position for permitting the insertion of a terminal fitting (20) into the housing (11) and at a full locking position for retaining the inserted terminal fitting (20). Locks (16, 35) are formed on the housing (11) and the retainer (30) and are engageable to hold the retainer (30) at the partial locking position. A pressure receiving surface (15) is formed on the housing (11) and is configured to restrict a movement of the retainer (30) toward the full locking position by pressing the retainer (30) in directions intersecting a moving direction of the retainer (30) from the partial locking position to the full locking position when the retainer (30) is at the partial locking position.
