PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To hold alignment of a male side terminal metal fitting, using a simple structure. SOLUTION: When a retainer 40 exists in a regular locking position, a regulating part 41 rushes in this side in a deflecting space 25, and a regulates deflection of a lance 24, so that the male side terminal metal fitting 10 is doubly prevented from slipping out. The retainer 40 can be pushed in the further inmost push-in position, against resiliency of a spring part provided in the retainer 40 as a mating female housing is fitted normally in a hood part 22. When a female housing is extracted from the hood part 22 at maintenance and so on, pressing force is removed so that the retainer 40 is pushed back up to the regular locking position by restoring resiliency of the spring part. During this time, since a tab 12 of the male side terminal metal fitting 10 is relatively inserted in a state of being fitted in an insertion groove 43 of the retainer 40 over a side- surface from an under surface, while pressing down its upper surface by the upper front wall surface 27, even if alignment of the tab 12 is deviated, deviation is corrected.
