PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To regulate excessive bending of a lance while making the connector small in size. SOLUTION: The lance 12 is provided in a manner of exposure at the lower face of a connector housing. A retainer 15 comprises a terminal locking part 20 for locking to the female terminal fitting 7 and an excessive bending regulating part 16 extending to the front from this terminal locking part 20. When the retainer 15 is at the temporary locking position, the excessive bending regulating part 16 is positioned at the lower part of the lance 12 and even if the lance 12 tries to bend and deform surpassing the elastic limit, the tip of the lance 12 contacts the upper face of the excessive bending regulating part 16, thereby deformation exceeding that is not allowed. Therefore, excessive bending of the lance 12 can be evaded beforehand. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
