Abstract
A connector that can appropriately exhibit a detection function of a retainer is provided. A retainer 12 is disposed so as to be moveable between a partially locked position and a fully locked position relative to a housing 11. A front member 13 moves in a direction that intersects a movement direction of the retainer 12 with respect to the housing 11, and is mounted to the housing 11. The front member 13 has an interference portion 61 configured to interfere with the retainer 12 at the partially locked position or an intermediate position along a path from the partially locked position to the fully locked position when the front member 13 moves toward the mounted position.
Claims5
A connector comprising:
- a terminal fitting;
- a housing configured to house the terminal fitting;
- a retainer disposed so as to be moveable between a partially locked position and a fully locked position relative to the housing, and configured to lock the terminal fitting housed in the housing and restrict rearward dislodgement of the terminal fitting when at the fully locked position;
- and
- a front member configured to move in a direction that intersects a movement direction of the retainer with respect to the housing, and to position a front wall of the front member on a front surface side of the housing while disposed at a mounted position relative to the housing,
- wherein the front member has an interference portion configured to interfere with the retainer at the partially locked position or an intermediate position along a path from the partially locked position to the fully locked position when the front member moves toward the mounted position.
