A connector includes a housing having a first connection portion and a second connection portion adjacent to the first connection portion, a first cap and a second cap pivotally supported by the housing respectively to be displaceable between an open position where the first and second connection portions are exposed to outside and a closed position where the first and second connection portions are shielded from the outside, a first lock and a second lock rotatably supported by the housing configured to lock the first cap and the second cap respectively. The second lock has a power transmission portion configured to transmit a rotational force in a lock releasing direction of the second lock to the first lock such that the first cap and the second cap are integrally displaced to the open position.

A connector includes a housing having a first connection portion and a second connection portion adjacent to the first connection portion, a first cap and a second cap pivotally supported by the housing respectively to be displaceable between an open position where the first and second connection portions are exposed to outside and a closed position where the first and second connection portions are shielded from the outside, a first lock and a second lock rotatably supported by the housing to lock the first cap and the second cap respectively, and a power transmission member rotatably supported by the housing. The power transmission member is configured to transmit a rotational force in a lock releasing direction of the second lock to the first lock such that the first cap and the second cap are integrally displaced to the open position.
