A connector has female and male housings ( 10, 80 ) and a detector ( 50 ) that can move from a preventing position to a locking position on the female housing ( 10 ). Preventing portions ( 57 ) of the detector ( 50 ) engage retainers ( 59 ) of the female housing ( 10 ) if the detector ( 50 ) is pushed towards the locking position before the housings ( 10, 80 ) are connected. Detector lock arms ( 52 ) slide in contact with interfering portions ( 89 ) of the male housing ( 80 ) and deform if the detector ( 50 ) is pushed towards the locking position when the housings ( 10, 80 ) are connected. Thus, the preventing portions ( 57 ) separate from the retainers ( 59 ) and the detector ( 50 ) can move to the locking position as the detector lock arms ( 52 ) deform. The detector lock arms ( 52 ) restore and engage interlocking portions ( 88 ) of the male housing ( 80 ) as the detector ( 50 ) reaches the locking position.
