Abstract
A connector provided with a half-fitting prevention function has a simplified configuration. A spring,is provided with a spring member,located to the posterior of a spring pressing member,which is pressed directly by a female housing. This spring member,is compressed when it receives a pressing force. The spring pressing member,and the spring member,are formed in a unified manner from plastic. The spring,is housed within a spring housing chamber,of a male housing,If the fitting of the two housings is halted part-way through the operation, the spring member,which has been compressed is released, the force which has been accumulated thus far is released, and the female housing is thereby caused to move in a direction of separation.
