Abstract
A housing () has a lock arm () that pivots about a fulcrum () that is rearward of a pivoting portion () of the lock arm (). A detection terminal () has a rear support () supported on the housing () rearward of the pivoting portion (). An action portion () of the detection terminal () is engaged with the pivoting portion () and displaces with the pivoting portion (). The lock arm () deforms during connection of the housing () and a mating housing () so that contacts () of the detection terminal () are not in contact with mating detection terminals (). However, the lock arm () returns resiliently when the housings () are connected properly so that the contacts () contact the mating detection terminals ().
