Connector and a connector assembly

摘要

A female housing ( 30 ) has a lock arm ( 40 ) and a resilient assisting piece ( 50 ). The assisting piece ( 50 ) is deformed by the lock arm ( 40 ) as the lock arm ( 40 ) is deformed. The assisting piece ( 50 ) is restored resiliently as the lock arm ( 40 ) resiliently restores and contributes to the resilient restoring force of the lock arm ( 40 ). Thus, the lock arm ( 40 ) produces a large hitting sound against the mating male housing ( 10 ). A hitting portion ( 52 ) is at the leading end of the assisting piece ( 50 ) and hits a hittable portion ( 27 ) on the mating male housing ( 10 ) to produce a separate hitting sound. Thus, two separate or simultaneous hitting sounds are produced to provide a clear audible and tactile indication of connection.
