Abstract
A connector includes a housing including a first housing unit and a second housing unit. The first housing unit is fitted to the second housing unit to form a fitting opening for receiving a plug connector. The first housing unit includes a rotatable section, and the second housing unit includes a support section for supporting the rotatable section to be rotatable to freely open the fitting opening. The support section is arranged to release the rotatable section so that the first housing unit is separated from the second housing unit when a force is applied to the support section.
