Abstract
A connector comprising a connector housing including a terminal accommodating chamber configured to receive a terminal fitting and a cantilevered flexible retaining arm extending from an inner wall surface of the terminal accommodating chamber, the flexible retaining arm having a first recessed surface, and a terminal retainer including an insertion portion configured to receive a mating terminal for the terminal fitting and a spacer, the spacer having a second recessed surface. When the terminal retainer is connected to the connector housing and the terminal fitting is completely inserted into the terminal accommodating chamber, the first and second recessed surfaces are in a confronting relationship to allow for a play of the terminal fitting.
