Abstract
A connector includes a sensing member inserted into the second housing along the first direction, and a sensing mechanism allowing the sensing member to advance to a predetermined engaged position along the first direction when the first housing and the second housing are completely fitted, and locking the sensing member at a position before the engaged position when the first housing and the second housing are not completely fitted. The sensing member includes an exposed portion exposed to an outer space when the sensing member is in the engaged position. In the exposed portion, a first surface exposed to a side opposite to a side of a central axis of the second housing is an inclined surface or an arc-shaped surface extending in a direction inclined with respect to the first direction and facing a side opposite to a side of the first housing in the first direction.
