Terminal fittings (21A, 21B) are inserted into cavities (45) of a housing (40) and are locked by locks (28). A cover (70) is mounted on the rear of the housing (40), and is locked by cover locks (60). The cover (70) functions as a retainer by engaging rear surfaces of the terminal fittings (21A, 21B

Terminal fittings (21A, 21B) are inserted into cavities (45) of a housing (40) and are locked by locks (28). A cover (70) is mounted on the rear of the housing (40), and is locked by cover locks (60). The cover (70) functions as a retainer by engaging rear surfaces of the terminal fittings (21A, 21B). The cover locks (60) deform towards deformation spaces (60A) if the cover (70) is only partly locked. A detector (100) is insertable through the cover (70) and has detecting pieces (103) that contact the cover locks (60) if the cover locks (60) are in the deformation spaces (60A). Thus, a partly locked state of the cover (70) can be detected. The detecting pieces (103) also enter deformation spaces (50A) for housing locks (50) for locking the housing (40) to a mating housing (11), and can detect a partly locked state of the housings (11, 40).

What is claimed is: 1. A connector, comprising: a terminal fitting having part connecting portion configured for connection with a mating part, a wire connecting portion configured for connection with an end of a wire, the part connection portion and the wire connection portion being coupled one after the other, and a bendable portion extending between the part connecting portion and the wire connecting portion and bendable substantially at right angles; a first housing including a first terminal accommodating portion for accommodating the part connecting portion of the terminal fitting and a first wire accommodating portion for accommodating the wire connecting portion of the terminal fitting, the first part accommodating portion and the first wire accommodating portion being coupled substantially at right angles to each other; and a second housing including a second terminal accommodating portion for accommodating the part connecting portion of the terminal fitting and a second wire accommodating portion for accommodating the wire connecting portion of the terminal fitting, the second part accommodating portion and the second wire accommodating portion being coupled to extend substantially along the same direction. 2. The connector of claim 1, further comprising: a first cover for covering the part accommodating portion of the first and second housings, the terminal fitting being configured for placement on an inner surface of the first cover so that the wire connecting portion of the terminal fitting projects out from an edge of the first cover, and a second cover for covering the wire accommodating portion of at least one of the first and second housings and for accommodating the wire connecting portion of the terminal fitting. 3. The connector of claim 2, further comprising a positioning portion on an inner surface of the first cover for positioning the terminal fitting. 4. The connector of claim 3, wherein the part connecting portion of the terminal fitting is configured to be connected with a mating terminal, an electrical component and a lead connecting portion of a second terminal fitting to be connected with a lead of the electrical component being disposed in the part accommodating portion of the housing. 5. The connector of claim 4, wherein the electrical component and the lead connecting portion of the second terminal fitting are placed on the inner surface of the first cover in addition to the terminal connecting portion of the terminal fitting. 6. The connector of claim 5, wherein the lead connecting portion is configured for placement on or under the lead of the electrical component. 7. The connector of claim 6, wherein an opening for welding is formed at a position on the first cover corresponding to the placed portion of the lead connecting portion and the lead. 8. A connector, comprising: a terminal fitting having a terminal connecting portion to be connected with a mating terminal and a wire connecting portion to be connected with a wire, the terminal fitting being selectively bendable to have a posture where the terminal connecting portion and the wire connecting portion are substantially orthogonal to each other and a posture where the terminal connecting portion and the wire connecting portion extend substantially along a common direction; a first housing with a terminal accommodating portion for accommodating the terminal connecting portion of the terminal fitting and a wire accommodating portion for accommodating the wire connecting portion of the terminal fitting, the terminal accommodating portion and the wire accommodating portion being coupled substantially at right angles to each other; a second housing with a terminal accommodating portion for accommodating the terminal connecting portion of the terminal fitting and a wire accommodating portion for accommodating the wire connecting portion of the terminal fitting, the terminal accommodating portion and the wire accommodating portion extending substantially along a common direction; a first cover commonly mountable on the terminal accommodating portions of the first and second housings; a second cover mountable on the wire accommodating portion of the first housing; and a third cover mountable on the wire accommodating portion of the second housing. 9. The connector of claim 8, wherein the first cover is locked in a mounted state on the terminal accommodating portion by resilient engagement of a locking piece, and a detector being mountable to the first and second housings in an inserting direction and including a detecting piece for the first cover insertable into a deformation space for the cover locking piece as the detector is mounted. 10. The connector of claim 9, further comprising an electrical component and a second terminal fitting being disposed in the part accommodating portion of the first housing, the electrical component having a lead and the second terminal fitting having a lead connecting portion disposed for connection with the lead of the electrical component. 11. The connector of claim 10, wherein the terminal connecting portion of the terminal fitting, the lead connecting portion of the second terminal fitting and the electrical component are placed on an inner surface of the first cover. 12. The connector of claim 11, wherein the lead connecting portion is configured for placement on or under the lead of the electrical component. 13. The connector of claim 12, wherein an opening for welding is formed at a position on the first cover corresponding to the placed portion of the lead connecting portion and the lead. 14. The connector of claim 13, wherein the detector is formed with at least one lid for closing the opening.
