Abstract
When a retainer is displaced into a provisionally-retained position, a slanting abutment surface of a retaining step is abutted against a rear edge of a main portion of a metal terminal disposed in a half-inserted position. Then, when the retainer is pushed, each projection is guided by a slanting portion of a guide groove, so that the retainer is displaced obliquely forwardly downwardly, and reaches a completely-retained position. During this displacement, a forwardly-acting pressing force is exerted on the metal terminal, so that the metal terminal is automatically pushed deeper into a proper inserted position.
