Abstract
After terminals have been inserted into terminal accommodating chambers, ends of retaining rods projecting from a spacer are moved toward entrances of refuge spaces for elastic retaining pieces that primarily retain the terminals. Then, the ends of the retaining rods are fitted into the refuge spaces. As a result, flexion of the elastic retaining pieces is regulated. On the other hand, when the terminals are inserted incompletely, the refuge spaces are substantially closed by the elastic retaining pieces.
