A connector with a terminal withdrawal stopper superior in durability whereby temporary engagement is possible even if the terminal withdrawal stopper is repeatedly inserted and withdrawn. Windows are formed in the outermost plug pieces of the terminal withdrawal stopper. Projections for engagement with the rim of the window are provided at the inside surface of the two side walls of the housing. The engagement of the projections and the rims of the windows holds the engagement of the terminal withdrawal stopper. When inserting or withdrawing the terminal withdrawal stopper, since the plug pieces easily elastically deform, no unreasonable force is applied and breakage seldom occurs.
