Abstract
An elastic portion ( ) is provided at a bottom surface of a fitting hole ( ) formed in a housing ( ) of a female connector ( ). When a housing ( ) of a male connector ( ) reaches a reference position (B) during a connector-fitting operation, a bottom surface of the housing ( ) contacts a distal end portion ( ) of the elastic portion ( ), and presses and displaces this distal end portion ( ) downward. Because of a reaction force produced as a result of this displacement, the elastic portion ( ) keeps on urging the housing ( ) of the male connector ( ) in a direction (upward) of fitting of a lock portion ( ) into a lock portion-retaining portion ( ).
