Abstract
In a connector, metal terminals are held against withdrawal by a retainer, and projections on the retainer are engaged respectively with projections formed at that portion where the retainer is inserted. By doing so, the retainer is retained provisionally and completely. A plurality of spaced elongate arms are formed on the retainer, and fitting projections, formed on the opposite ends of the arms, are received respectively in predetermined grooves, thereby restraining the movement of the retainer in any direction except for predetermined directions.
