Abstract
A connector includes an outer housing, an inner housing fitted to the outer housing, and a detection member assembled to the outer housing and restricted from being separated in a removal direction. The detection member has a flexible lock arm and a member-side protrusion formed on a free end side of the lock arm and facing an outer-side protrusion in the removal direction in an assembled state. When a locking arm gets over the outer-side protrusion and is locked to the outer-side protrusion, the locking arm moves in an insertion direction while being elastically deformed, and elastically returns after getting over the outer-side protrusion to press the member-side protrusion outward an inner housing accommodating space, so that the lock arm allows the outer-side protrusion and the member-side protrusion to be in a non-facing state in the insertion/removal direction, and allows the detection member to be separated in the removal direction.
