A combined-type connector of a multi-stage construction in which a main housing and an auxiliary housing each having metal terminals are combined together. In the combined-type connector, a fitting hood of the main housing is formed by a rear wall and a peripheral wall defining four side walls, and a combination-purpose insertion port is formed in the rear wall of the fitting hood, and is directed and leads to a region disposed over one side of rear end portions of terminal receiving chambers. A fitting hood of the auxiliary housing is formed by three walls, that is, a wall, disposed forwardly of a press-connection opening, and two walls disposed respectively at opposite sides of this wall, and is inserted into the fitting hood of the main housing through the insertion port, and the thus inserted fitting hood of the auxiliary housing has such a size that the three walls thereof are disposed in contiguous relation to an inner peripheral surface of the fitting hood of the main housing. There is provided a terminal cover for opening and closing the press-connection opening in the auxiliary housing.
