Abstract
It is aimed to prevent a resilient displacement of a lock arm from being hindered while achieving a height reduction. A connector (A) is provided with a connector housing () and a lock arm () extending rearward along an outer surface of the connector housing (). A deflection allowance space () for enabling the lock arm () to be resiliently displaced in a direction approaching the outer surface of the connector housing () is provided between the outer surface of the connector housing () and the lock arm (). The connector housing () is formed with a covering portion () for covering the lock arm () from behind by projecting from the outer surface of the connector housing ().
