When each metal terminal 3 is completely inserted into a housing 4, the metal terminal 3 is prevented from movement in forward, upward, downward, left and right directions. The metal terminal 3 is also primarily retained by a terminal retaining member 5, and is prevented from movement in a rearward direction. Then, when the terminal retaining member 5 is pushed up, and is shifted from a provisionally-retained condition to a completely-retained condition, only the terminal retaining member 5 is moved while the metal terminals 3 remain as they are. At this time, the amount of engagement of a primarily-retained portion of the metal terminal is reduced, whereas a secondarily-retaining portion of the terminal retaining member 5 is engaged with the metal terminal 3 in accordance with an upward movement of the terminal retaining member 3, thereby securing a necessary and sufficient retaining force.
