Connector

Abstract

A connector includes a terminal that includes a box-shaped portion to which a mating terminal is inserted and connected and that is attached to an end of an electric wire, a housing that includes an accommodating hole for accommodating the box-shaped portion, and a retainer that is attached to the housing in a manner capable of being displaced in an intersecting direction intersecting with an insertion direction of the box-shaped portion into the accommodating hole. A pressing piece is formed on an upper surface of the accommodating hole of the housing, and a protrusion is formed on a lower surface. The retainer includes a protruding portion, and when the retainer is at a first position, the box-shaped portion is allowed to be inserted into the accommodating hole, and the box-shaped portion inserted in the accommodating hole is pushed by the pressing piece and displaced in the intersecting direction so that a primary locking state is reached due to a projecting portion that is provided on the insertion direction side of the step portion in a manner protruding in an opposite direction from the insertion direction being caught by the protrusion and engaged and retained by a recessed portion formed on the protrusion and a rear end of the box-shaped portion being caught and retained by the protruding portion.
