Abstract
A plurality of kinds of multi-pole sub-connectors are provided with retaining means for retaining them on a frame, and provisionally-retaining projections. If an erroneous insertion is not encountered, the multi-pole sub-connectors are fitted in the frame, and are retained relative thereto, and thus are integrally connected together to provide a first connector. A second connector (i.e., a mating connector) to be connected to this first connector is provided with provisionally-retaining arms each of which forces a corresponding one of the multi-pole sub-connectors from the frame if this corresponding sub-connector is incompletely retained on the frame.
