Connector with movable member for assisting connection with a mating connector

摘要

A frame ( 70 ) is formed with a slider accommodating space ( 75 ) and a housing accommodating space ( 74 ) that are partitioned by inner walls ( 78 ). A slider ( 50 ) is formed with cam grooves ( 51 ) to face the housing accommodating space ( 74 ), and a male housing ( 30 ) is pulled to a connection position by a movement of the slider ( 50 ) in a direction substantially normal to a connecting direction with cam pins ( 31 ) of the male housing ( 30 ) engaged with the cam grooves ( 51 ). The inner walls ( 78 ) have thinned portions ( 79 ) reducing the thickness of the inner walls ( 78 ). Surrounding walls ( 19 ) of receptacles ( 13 ) of auxiliary housings ( 11 ) enter the thinned portions ( 19 ) to arrange the surrounding walls ( 19 ) in proximity to main portions ( 53 ) of the slider ( 50 ).
