A connector includes a housing, a front holder, a provisionally-retaining member and a completely-retaining member. The housing includes terminal receiving chambers in which metal terminals are accommodated and a plurality of elastic retaining arm portions for respectively retaining the metal terminals. The front holder is attached to the housing in a completely-retaining position through a provisionally-retaining position. The front holder prevents elastic deformation of the elastic retaining arm portions in the completely-retaining position but allows elastic deformation of the elastic retaining arm portions in the provisionally-retaining position. The completely-retaining member retains the front holder to the housing in the completely-retaining position and includes an operation portion for releasing the retaining of the housing and the holder, which is exposed to the exterior.
