Properly inserted terminal fittings (40) are engaged and locked by locks (20) returned to their free states. A retainer (30) mounted into a housing (10) then enters deformation spaces (26) for the locks (20). The retainer (30) presses and deforms the locks (20) from their free states toward the terminal fittings (40). Thus, areas of engagement of the locks (20) and the terminal fittings (40) are increased. Additionally, the degree of the resilient deformation of the locks (20) in the inserting process of the terminal fittings (40) is low and resistance acting when the terminal fittings (40) are inserted is suppressed.
