Connector

Abstract

A connector has a housing (10) with a terminal accommodating portion (11) for receiving terminal fittings (13) and a receptacle (12) that surrounds the terminal accommodating portion (11). A holder (50) is mounted on the terminal accommodating portion (11) from the front and includes a front wall (51) for supporting the terminal fitting (13) at their front limit positions. A retainer (40) is mounted sideways through a retainer insertion hole (33) in the receptacle (12) and into a retainer mount hole (26) in the terminal accommodating portion (11) for locking the terminal fittings (13). The terminal accommodating portion (11) has a holding groove (29) for holding the holder (50). The holding groove (29) is exposed laterally through the retainer mount hole (26) and the retainer insertion hole (33). The holding grooves (29), the retainer mount hole (26) and the retainer insertion hole (33) are molded by the same mold when the housing (10) is molded.
