Abstract
A connector including a connector housing with a retainer attachment hole that receives and stabilizes a retainer as it is inserted into the connector housing. The retainer attachment hole extends into an anterior face of the connector housing. Male terminal fittings inserted into the connector housing are maintained therein by a removal preventing member of the retainer that is inserted into the retainer attachment hole. Guiding members formed on the retainer enter the retainer attachment hole before the removal preventing member enters therein. Consequently, the retainer is stabilized and maintained in position relative to the connector housing while it is being attached to the retainer attachment hole.
