The accommodating space retains a mating connector, and accommodates a slide lock member and a resilient member. The accommodating space is arranged close to a terminal accommodating chamber so as to be slidable in an engaging direction, the terminal accommodating chamber allowing a connecting terminal to be inserted thereinto. The slide lock member is biased during disengaging operation. The opening is arranged on part of the accommodating space and causes part of the slide lock member to be exposed. The lock stopper is arranged on a side surfaces of the accommodating space and suppresses movement of the mating connector. The slide lock member has a flexible disengaging arm that has a separating projection. The separating projection is pressed during the disengaging operation.
