Abstract

A connector examining device in which a retainer for attaching a terminal within a housing can be pushed into the housing simultaneous with an examination of a connector. When a lever is pulled up, a cam comes in contact with a trailing end surface of a detector portion. This allows the detector portion to slide toward a connector receiving portion. After the detector portion is in contact with the connector receiving portion, the connector receiving portion and the detector portion together are further displaced. At this time, a retainer pusher, fixed to a base, pushes into the housing the retainer temporarily engaged with the housing of the connector held by the connector receiving portion. Thus, the retainer and the terminal within the housing are engaged with one another, and the terminals are engaged with the housing.
