(54)	Electrical connector and cable with electrical connector

(57) An electrical connector (100) includes a contact (1) for electrical connection with a contact (201) of a counterpart connector (200), a main body (21) having a contact housing part (24) for housing the contact (1), and a coupling member (22) which can be coupled to the main body (21), and can latch a cable (40) that is connected to a contact (1) housed in the contact housing part (24) in conjunction with the main body (21) by being coupled to the main body (21). The electrical connector (100) further includes a retainer (35) which is attached in a displaceable manner to the main body (21), and is displaced from an initial position to a latching position at which the retainer can latch a contact (1) housed in the contact housing part (24) by receiving an external force from the couplingmember (22) when the couplingmember (22) is coupled to the main body (21).
