Abstract
Rear engageable surfaces (B) of engageable portions () face communicating portions () and are inclined to produce forces for pushing another housing () forward in a connecting direction with one housing () upon receiving resilient restoring forces of leg portions () when a pair of connectors () reach a properly connected state. A fitting portion () of the second connector () is formed with slanted surfaces () inclined to reduce the width of the fitting portion () toward the back side of the fitting portion (). The slanted surfacesand the first connector () are set to come into contact at a position where a clearance is defined before the first connector () in the connecting direction with the second connector ().
