Abstract
A retainer is disposed in a mounting hole of a housing, and moves in the left-right direction from a temporary locking position to a final locking position. A body portion of the retainer is disposed with a clearance between the body portion and a front hole surface of the mounting hole at the temporary locking position. A forward protrusion (end-side forward protrusions and an intermediate forward protrusion) of the retainer is opposed to the front hole surface of the mounting hole so as to be contactable therewith at the temporary locking position. A rear hole surface of the mounting hole includes a pressing portion configured to press forward the retainer moving from the temporary locking position to the final locking position.
Claims5
A connector comprising:
- a housing;
- a retainer;
- and a terminal, wherein
- the housing includes a cavity extending in a front-rear direction, and a mounting hole intersecting the cavity,
- the retainer is disposed so as to be movable relative to the housing in a direction intersecting the front-rear direction between a temporary locking position and a final locking position while being disposed in the mounting hole,
- the terminal is disposed in the cavity, and suppressed from being dislodged rearward from the cavity by the retainer located at the final locking position,
- the retainer includes a body portion disposed with a clearance between the retainer and a front hole surface of the mounting hole at the temporary locking position, and a forward protrusion protruding forward from the body portion,
- the forward protrusion is opposed to the front hole surface of the mounting hole so as to be contactable therewith at the temporary locking position,
- a rear hole surface of the mounting hole includes a pressing portion configured to press forward the retainer moving from the temporary locking position to the final locking position, and
- the front hole surface of the mounting hole includes a recess configured to accommodate the forward protrusion at the final locking position of the retainer.
