PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To hold alignment of a male side terminal metal fitting. SOLUTION: When a retainer 30 is located at a regular locking position, a regulating plate 31 rushes in this side in a deflecting space 25, and regulates deflection of a lance 24, so that the male side terminal metal fitting 10 is doubly prevented from slipping out. The retainer 30 can be pushed in the further inmost push-in position, while elastically contracting a compression coil spring 43 via a moving body 41 as a mating female housing is fitted normally in a hood part 22. When the female housing is extracted from the hood part 22 at maintenance, pressing force is removed, so that the retainer 30 is pushed back up to the regular locking position by restoring resiliency of the compression soil spring 43. 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 inserting hole 32 of the retainer 40, even if the alignment of the tab 12 is deviated, deviation is corrected automatically.
