Connector provided with a retainer

摘要

To provide a connector provided with a retainer which can prevent a retainer insertion hole from being exposed to the outside and has a strong force for retaining terminal fittings. A retainer 30 is rotatable in a housing 10 about an insertion portion 33. When the retainer 30 is rotated to its lock position, lock projections 32 provided on the insertion portion 33 lock the terminal fittings 20. Since the retainer 30 can directly lock the terminal fittings 20 in this connector, the terminal fittings 20 can be retained with a strong force. Further, since a retainer insertion hole 31 is formed in the front surface of the housing 10, it is not exposed to the outside by being covered by a mating connector. In other words, the inventive connector has advantages of both side retainer type and front retainer type connectors of prior art and retains the terminal fittings 20 with a large force while being designed to be watertight. <IMAGE>
