The connecting portion of the lock arm is integrally connected to the hood portion at the first side, the extending portion extends from the connecting portion to the depressing portion in a first direction of fitting the mating connector into the connector body portion, and the depressing portion is arranged at a second side which is away from the mating connector than the first side in the first direction. A first slit is formed in the end wall of the hood portion, and has a width larger than a width of an interconnecting portion which connect the connecting portion of the lock arm to the hood portion, so that the first slit applies elastic deformability, corresponding to the width of the first slit, to a part of the hood portion including the interconnecting portion. A pair of protection side walls are provided respectively at both sides of the lock arm to protect the lock arm, and are separated from the lock arm, and have a height generally equal to a height of the lock arm.
