Abstract
A housing () includes locking lances (A,B) for retaining terminal fittings () inserted into terminal accommodating chambers (A,B) arranged side by side in upper and lower levels and deformation spaces (A,B) extending in an arrangement direction of the locking lances (A,B) and allowing the locking lancesA,B to be resiliently deformed away from the terminal fittings (). When deformation preventing portions (A,B) of a retainer () are inserted into the deformation spaces (A,B), the locking lances (A,B) are prevented from being deformed away from the terminal fittings (). The retainer () includes a rectangular tube () formed by the two deformation preventing portions (A,B) and two couplings () coupling the deformation preventing portions (A,B), and the housing () includes accommodating portions () for accommodating the couplings ().
