Abstract
The invention provides a connector with a housing having a simple configuration. After an L-shaped side retainer has been fitted in a temporary stopping position within an opening groove of an inner housing this inner housing is inserted from an anterior direction into a fitting channel of an outer housing A locking protrusion provided in the fitting channel engages a locking member of the inner housing and the inner housing is thereby attached. When the side retainer is to be moved from the temporary stopping position to a main stopping position in which male terminal fittings can be retained, a jig or the like is inserted into the fitting channel to move an operating member formed on an anterior edge of the side retainer
