Electrical connector

摘要

A connector includes first and second connector housings (M2, F2) which are fitted together. A seesaw or lever-type lock piece (45) is provided in one of the connector housings (F2) and a hooking part (49) is provided on the other connector housing (M2) to be hooked by a hanging part (47) of the lock piece (45). A detecting member (51) is mounted for sliding movement along the upper face of the lock piece (45). After fitting of both housings is carried out, the detecting member (51) is pushed forwardly. If the connector housings (M2, F2) are in an incomplete fitted position or state, the pushing of the detecting member (51) is prevented by engagement with part (55) of the housing (F2) and the incomplete fitted state is detected. If the detecting member (51) is further pushed in, the housing (F2) is pushed in with the lock piece (45) and is properly fitted. The detecting member (51) is retained just at the position of the front end of the lock piece (45) by engagement with the housing (F2) in the properly fitted position or state.
