Abstract
A connector has a housing () with cavities () for accommodating terminal fittings (). A retainer-mounting hole () is formed in a side of the housing () and communicates with the cavities (). A retainer () can be mounted in the retainer-mounting hole () at a predetermined normal depth to lock the terminal fittings () in the cavities (). The retainer () has side locks () at both sides of the retainer () that lock to a corresponding side to-be-locked surface () in the housing (). The retainer () also has an intermediate lock () at a central position of the retainer () that locks to an intermediate to-be-locked surface () in the housing (). The blocking strength of the intermediate lock () exceeds the locking strength of the side locks ().
