1. A connector, comprising:
a shield terminal to be connected to a cable configured such that an outer periphery of a wire is surrounded by a shield body;
a plurality of terminals;
a housing for accommodating the shield terminal and the plurality of terminals;
a retainer held on the housing movably between a temporary locking position and a complete locking position in an arrangement direction of the plurality of terminals, the retainer retaining the plurality of terminals inside the housing by moving to the complete locking position; and
a detecting member held on the housing movably between an initial position and a detection position in an inserting/withdrawing direction of the shield terminal, the detecting member moving to the detection position by the shield terminal being accommodated to a proper position inside the housing,
the shield terminal including an inner conductor, a dielectric for accommodating the inner conductor and a tubular outer conductor for covering an outer periphery of the dielectric and to be electrically connected to the shield body,
the retainer being disabled to move to the complete locking position by interfering with the detecting member when the detecting member is not at the detection position, and
the retainer being movable to the complete locking position when the detecting member is at the detection position.
