Abstract
A plurality of steps respectively constituted by inner housings ( ) are incorporated into an outer housing ( ) of a female connector ( ). Moreover, a pushing operation force transmitting member ( ) is incorporated there into. The engaging relation of this pushing operation force transmitting member ( ) to each of the inner housings is changed every time this member is externally operated. Thus, a pushing operation force applied to the outer housing ( ) is transmitted to the inner housings ( ) sequentially. Consequently, the outer housing ( ) and the pushing operation force transmitting member ( ) are alternately pushed. Thus, the plurality of steps respectively constituted by the inner housings ( ) are sequentially connected to a male connector ( ).
