Abstract

A connector has a front retainer (20) with a detecting portion (32) and a detecting surface (24) formed on a rear end part of the detecting portion (32). The detecting surface is inclined with respect to a virtual orthogonal plane (S) orthogonal to a mounting direction of the front retainer (20) and butts against a locking lance (12) located in a deflection space (13) when a terminal fitting (16) is in an incompletely inserted state. A first pressure receiving surface (23) and a second pressure receiving surface (26) formed on the rear end part of the detecting portion (22) are set to be at a smaller angle to the virtual orthogonal plane (S) than an angle of the detecting surface (24) to the virtual orthogonal plane (S).
