A connector and a method of assembling it

摘要

A retainer mount hole 10 is open in a connector housing 1 from its bottom surface over to its opposite side surfaces, and a retainer 35 is obliquely pushed from a partial locking position to a full locking position. On the other hand, each terminal fitting 25 is provided with a projection 28 and a stabilizer 29 at the side of the projection 28. When the retainer 35 reaches the full locking position, both the projection 28 and the stabilizer 29 are engaged with the retainer 35. The projecting end of the rear end of the stabilizer 29 is pointed, thereby forming a biting portion 56. When a wire 31 connected with the terminal fitting 25 is pulled backward, the biting portion 56 bites in the retainer 35 to prevent the retainer 35 from returning. <IMAGE>
