The housing forms a pair of wing portions (129) extending rearwardly therefrom. The cover defines a pair of passages (151) to receive the wing portions. The locking member includes a retaining section (160) secured with the insulative housing, a pushing section (162) engaged with the pair of wing portions, and a pair of latch portions (1610) located close to the retaining section.
