Male and female housings ( 10, 20 ) are connected and locked together by the engagement of a lock arm ( 22 ) of the female housing ( 20 ) and a lock ( 18 ) of a receptacle ( 12 ). Upon separating the two housings ( 10, 20 ), an operable portion ( 24 ) at the rear end of the lock arm ( 22 ) is operated to disengage the lock arm ( 22 ) from the lock ( 18 ), thereby canceling the locked state. Since the operable portion ( 24 ) is located in a notch ( 17 ) formed at the front end edge of the receptacle ( 12 ) with the two housings ( 10, 20 ) connected, a connector can be miniaturized with respect to a connecting direction of the two housings ( 10, 20 ).
