Abstract
A connector including an inner housing member for housing terminal fittings and an outer member for receiving the inner housing member. The inner housing member comprises upper and lower inner members. After terminal fittings have been attached to the upper and lower inner members, these inner members are joined to one another to form the inner housing member. An angular-tubular shaped housing chamber is provided at the posterior of an outer member for housing the inner housing member. The inner housing member is pushed into the housing chamber of the outer member to complete the assembly of the connector. The connector also includes a latch that prevents the inner and outer members from being easily released, and in which rattling or vibration of the upper and lower inner members is prevented.
