Abstract
An efficient removal operation of a signal transmission medium is enabled with a simple configuration. A lock mechanism having a latch lock part, which retains an inserted state of the signal transmission medium by engagement with the signal transmission medium inserted in an insulating housing, is provided with an unlock maintaining part, which retains the latch lock part at a detachment position in conjunction with an unlock operation. It is configured so that, when the latch lock part of the lock mechanism is to be detached from the signal transmission medium by the unlock operation, an unlock maintaining part, which is moved in conjunction with the unlock operation, causes the latch lock part to be retained in a state in which it is detached from the signal transmission medium, and the signal transmission medium is maintained in a removable state thereafter even without continuing the unlock operation so that the unlock operation is completed at first for example only with one hand, and the signal transmission medium can be removed thereafter.
