Abstract
In a half-fitting prevention connector ( ) of the invention, when a pair of connector housings ( ) are fitted together, a half-fitted condition of the connector housings ( ) is detected by determining whether or not a fitting detection member ( ) on first connector housing ( ) can be slid into a proper fitting detection position. The proper fitting detection position of the fitting detection member ( ) is set at a position which is nearer relative to a front end of the housing than its initial position is. Therefore, by one operation for fitting the two connector housings together, with the fitting detection member held with the hand, the housing-fitting operation and the detection member-moving operation can be completed at a time. And besides, there is no need to change the positions of the fingers during this operation, and the housing-fitting operation can be effected with a reduced number of operations.
