Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A connector includes a housing ( 10 ) into which terminal fittings ( 110 ) are accommodated and a housing-side lock ( 26 ). A wire cover ( 70 ) is mounted on the housing ( 10 ) to cover wires ( 200 ) pulled out from the housing ( 10 ). The wire cover ( 70 ) includes a cover-side lock ( 73 ) at a position to be lockable to the housing-side lock ( 26 ) in a mounted state and is held on the housing ( 10 ) by being locked to the cover-side lock ( 73 ) after the housing-side lock ( 26 ) is resiliently deformed. A restricting member ( 90 ) is inserted into a deflection space for the housing-side lock ( 26 ) to restrict the deflection of the housing-side lock ( 26 ) when the cover-side lock ( 73 ) and the housing-side lock ( 26 ) are in a locked state.
