Patent ID: 7001225

Claim:
A connector, comprising: a housing formed with at least one cavity for accommodating a terminal fitting, and a retainer including a pair of side plates at opposite sides and mountable so that the retainer crosses over the housing along a width direction, the side plates bulging out along the width direction from side surfaces of the housing, wherein: the retainer is movable in a moving direction intersecting an inserting direction of the terminal fitting from a first position where insertion and withdrawal of the terminal fitting into and from the cavity are permitted and a second position where the terminal fitting is retained by engagement with the retainer, and protection walls are formed on the side surfaces of the housing to project at least partly around movable ranges of the side plates, wherein portions of the protection walls substantially opposed to a leading end of the retainer with respect to the moving direction are formed to define a jig insertion hole for receiving a jig to urge the side plates substantially opposite to the moving direction and to disengage the side plates of the retainer from the second position.
