Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A female connector (F) includes a retainer ( 30 ) to be housed into a mounting hole ( 14 ) and selectively mounted, in a housing ( 10 ), at a partial locking position for allowing insertion of terminal fittings ( 50 ) and a full locking position for locking already inserted terminal fittings ( 50 ). A base ( 33 ) is at a rear end of the retainer ( 30 ) in a mounting direction into the housing ( 10 ) and is located outside a mounting hole ( 14 ) when the retainer ( 30 ) is at the partial locking position. Backlash eliminating portions ( 21, 22, 41, 42 ) are formed on the base ( 33 ) and in the housing ( 10 ) and are configured to restrict a relative displacement of the retainer ( 30 ) with respect to the housing ( 10 ) when the retainer ( 30 ) is at the partial locking position.
