Abstract
A provisionally-retaining arm (,), which has a retaining projection (,), and extends in a connector fitting direction, is formed on a connector housing (,). A vertical one side surface (,) of the retaining projection is abutted against a vertical one side surface (,) of an inlet portion (,) of a guide hole (,), thereby provisionally retaining a slider (,) in a completely-locked condition. When the two connector housings (,) are to be fitted together, the retaining projection (,) is disposed in opposed relation to a follower projection (,). A landing portion (,) and a relief portion (,) for the retaining projection (,) are provided adjacent to the inlet portion (,). At least one of the other side surface of the retaining projection and an end edge portion of the relief portion (,) is formed in a slanting condition. An auxiliary retaining arm is formed on the slider (,), and a provisionally-retaining hole and a completely-retaining hole are formed in the connector housing (,). A vertical retaining surface and a slanting surface, which are directed in a slider releasing direction, are formed on the retaining projection of the auxiliary retaining arm, and a vertical abutment surface is formed on an inner surface of the provisionally-retaining hole.
