Provided is a charging connector which can prevent a drawing operation while being locked by making it easier to recognize that the charging connector is locked. The charging connector (B) is provided with a lever (44) which is housed in a connector case body (23) with the central portion thereof pivotally supported, an engaging claw (45b) which is integrally formed at one end of the lever (44), and a release button (46a) which is provided at the other end of the lever (44), wherein, when the charging connector is perfectly fitted to a secondary battery-side connector, the stopping claw (45b) locks with an stopping projection (19) provided on the secondary battery-side connector, and, when the release button (46a) is pressed, the locking of the stopping claw (45b) with the stopping projection (19) is released. The charging connector is provided with a locking means (100) provided with a lock unit (101) and an operation restricting member (102) which is moved to a prohibited position in which the pressing of the release button (46a) is prohibited when the lock unit (101) is locked and moved to a permitted position in which the pressing of the release button (46a) is permitted when the lock unit (101) is unlocked. |
