Connector formed with a retainer having terminal alignment features

Abstract

A connector (A) includes a partition () for partitioning an insertion hole () for a tab () and a mold removal space () for a locking lance (). A retainer () is pivoted between a partial locking position and a full locking position. A lock () restricts a displacement of the retainer (). A retracted portion () is formed in an area (R) of a facing wall () behind the retainer () to mold the lock () and retracted from an insertion path for a male terminal fitting () as compared with an area (F) of the facing wall () before the retainer (). The retainer () includes a restriction () for restricting the inclination of the male terminal fitting () by being so displaced, at the partial locking position, that a rear end of the male terminal fitting () moves toward the retracted portion ().
