Abstract
A connector has a retainer () with a housing lock () engageable with a housing () and a terminal lock () cantilevers forward from a bottom side of the housing lock () to lock female terminal fittings (). Restricting portions () are formed on a surface of the terminal lock () to face the housing (). The restricting portions () can contact bottom end surfaces (A) of the opposite side walls of the housing () along the width direction, thus preventing the terminal lock () from entering cavities () to hinder the insertion of the female terminal fittings () when the female terminal fittings () are inserted into the cavities ().
