A connector is provided with a housing () including a plurality of terminal accommodation chambers () arranged in a width direction, terminal fittings () to be inserted into the terminal accommodation chambers (), and a retainer () to be assembled with the housing () and configured to retain the terminal fittings () inserted into the terminal accommodation chambers (). A projection () projecting only from a part in the width direction is formed on an outer surface of the terminal fitting (). A separation restricting portion () is formed in a region of the housing () different from the projection () in the width direction. The retainer () is formed with a locking portion () for restricting a displacement in a separation direction from the housing () by locking the separation restricting portion ().
