Abstract
A connector (A) has a connector housing (,) with an outer surface (,A). A locking arm (,) extends from the outer surface (,A). A groove (,) is formed on a base part (,) of the locking arm (,) along a direction in which the base part (,) is erected. A groove (,) is formed on an arm part (,) of the locking arm (,) along a direction in which the arm part (,) extends. The sectional configuration of the grooves (,) include concave quadrantal curved surface (,R,,R) that are smoothly continuous with each other. The formation of the grooves (,), (,) allow a stress to be dispersed to the entire locking arm (,). Thus, it is possible to reduce the strain to be applied to the base part (,) and prevent breakage of the base part (,).
