Abstract
Provided is a lock mechanism configured to hold a fitted state between a first connector and a second connector, where the first connector and the second connector as a counterpart are fittable together. The lock mechanism includes: a lock member that includes an engagement part and is provided in the first connector; a biasing part that is connected to the lock member and holds the lock member in a reference state; a pivotal shaft that is disposed parallel to a direction orthogonal to a fitting direction and pivotably supports the lock member; and an engagement-receiving part that is provided in the second connector and is engageable with the engagement part. The lock member is attached to the first connector so as to be pivotable around the pivotal shaft.
