Connector

Abstract

A temporary locking jig inserting hole which enables a retainer operating jig to be inserted thereinto from the outside is provided on a side of an inner housing of a female connector from which electric wires are drawn out in such a manner as to extend along a direction in which female terminals are inserted into the inner housing. In addition, a temporary locking retainer side tapered portion is provided on a retainer in such a manner as to correspond in position to the temporary locking jig inserting hole. In association with the insertion of the retainer operating jig from the temporary locking jig inserting hole, the temporary locking retainer side tapered portion is brought into sliding contact with a jig side tapered portion of the retainer operating jig, so as to displace the retainer which is being in a proper locking position to a temporary locking position.
