The terminal connector basically includes; a frame-like body internally provided with openings for insertion therethrough of wires with terminal members, and a plural number of resilient terminal anchoring fingers extending forwardly into the terminal compartments in the connector housing; the resilient anchoring fingers being capable of restoring an original form by the resiliency thereof when the retainer is in a finally interlocked state, and in the restored original form anchoring the terminal members securely in position in the respective terminal compartments in the connector housing.
