An object of the present invention is to improve the reliability of a connection detecting function. A connector includes a first housing 10 with a pair of detection terminals 13, a second housing 20 with a resilient deforming portion 25, a detection unit 40 provided in the second housing 20 and including a pair of connecting portions 42 which rub against the pair of detection terminals 13 in the process of connecting the two housings 10, 20 and are connected to the pair of detection terminals 13 when the two housings 10, 20 are properly connected and detection contact portions (fixed contact portions 45 and movable contact portions 50) for releasing a shorted state of the pair of connecting portions 42 as the resilient deforming portion 25 is resiliently deformed and shorting the pair of connecting portions 42 as the resilient deforming portion 25 is resiliently restored, and a catch preventing means 51 for preventing a foreign matter from being caught at the both detection contact portions 45, 50 in a state where the two housings 10, 20 are separated. |
