Abstract:
A connector includes a housing ( 20 ) and a front retainer ( 40 ) to be mounted into the housing ( 20 ) from the front. The housing ( 20 ) includes locking lances ( 31 ) for locking terminal fittings ( 10 ) inserted to proper positions. The locking lance ( 31 ) is pressed by the terminal fitting ( 10 ) and retracted into a deflection space (S 1 ) when the terminal fitting ( 10 ) is inserted, and resiliently returns and locks the terminal fitting ( 10 ) when the terminal fitting ( 10 ) is inserted properly. The front retainer ( 40 ) includes deflection restricting portions ( 42 ) for restricting deformation of the locking lances ( 31 ) by entering the deflection spaces (S 1 ), and includes ribs ( 45 ) that can contact and guide a tip of a tab ( 11 ) if the tab ( 11 ) is inclined during insertion of the terminal fitting ( 10 ).

Claim (Index 2):
The connector of  claim 1 , wherein:\n a front wall ( 24 ) of the housing ( 20 ) is provided with a tab insertion hole ( 28 ), the tab ( 11 ) being inserted into the tab insertion hole ( 28 ); and the rib ( 45 ) has a guide surface ( 52 ) for guiding the tab ( 11 ) toward the tab insertion hole ( 28 ).
