Abstract
A connector housing includes support walls provided on right and left sides of terminal receiving chambers for receiving metal terminals, respectively, these support walls having retainer-retaining projections. A retainer for being inserted into the connector housing is made of an elastic material, and has lock arms formed on a base portion in a cantilever manner. The first and second lock arms Are integrally provided with a slit formed therebetween, and the first and second lock arms are integrally provided with a slit formed therebetween. The first and second lock arms have generally the same length, and are arranged generally symmetrically with respect to a line passing through the base portion. In a completely-retained condition of the retainer, the first and second lock arms limit the movement of elastic retaining pieces engaged respectively with the metal terminals.
