A female housing (4) of the female connector has a slider (8) slidably installed in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal joining direction. The slider includes a first cam (10) provided with a first ridge portion (t), and a pair of opposing first and second slanting portions (b)(c) extending from the first ridge portion. The male housing (13) of the male connector is formed with a second cam (14) on an outer wall surface (13a) thereof. The second cam provided with a second ridge portion (t'), a third slanting portion (b') coming into abutment and slidably contacting with the first slanting portion of the slider, and a fourth slanting portion (c') being slidably in contact with the second slanting portion and pressed and retained by the second slanting portion. Thus a half-fitted state can be detected and the connectors are prevented from loosening. |
