A connector has an auxiliary housing (10) with cavities (11) and locks (14) cantilevered into the cavities (11). The locks (14) deform into deformation permitting spaces (S) during insertion of terminal fittings (12) into the cavities (11). The locks (14) resiliently return to an undeflected condition to engage locking holes (12a) in terminal fittings (12) after insertion to proper depth. Deformation restricting portions (58) are integrally provided in an accommodation recess (53) of a housing main body (50) for accommodating the auxiliary housing (10). The deformation restricting portions (58) enter the deformation permitting spaces (S) for the locks (14) as the auxiliary housing (10) is accommodated into the accommodation recess (53), thereby preventing the locks (14) from inadvertently undergoing an elastic deformation.
