Abstract
In a connector for electrically connecting a mating object, a coveris used for pressing the mating object against a contactheld by a housing. The cover is held on the housingto be rotatable in a first direction and to be movable in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The cover is kept in a connected state by locking portionsandwhich are engaged with each other in a direction opposite to the first direction and in the second direction. Upon disconnection of the mating object, the cover is rotated in the first direction to release the engagement of the locking portions and is moved in the second direction, thereby allowing the mating object to be disconnected.
