The present disclosure relates to a connector and a manufacturing method or a connector. The connector includes: a terminal fitting; and a housing holding the terminal fitting. The housing includes a first resin molded body in which at least a part of the terminal fitting is embedded, the first resin molded body being made of a first material, and a second resin molded body in which at least a part of the first resin molded body is embedded, the second resin molded body being made of a second material. The first material has a linear thermal expansion coefficient smaller than that of the second material.

Connector including terminal fitting embedded in housing and manufacturing method of connector including terminal fitting embedded in housing

A connector includes: an outer housing including an arm that protrudes from a first wall portion to a space portion surrounded by a housing main unit; an inner housing inside the housing main unit; and a detection member supported between the first wall portion and the inner housing slidably. The housing main unit has an opening portion in which a counterpart housing having a protrusion is inserted. The arm includes an arm main unit with flexibility extending toward the opening portion and a lock tab protruding from the arm main unit. When the counterpart housing is inserted, the arm main unit is elastically deformed to enable the lock tab to ride over and lock the protrusion. When the lock tab completes riding over, the lock tab allows the detection member to move toward the opening portion.
