A male housing ( 1 ) has a hood ( 5 ) for receiving a female housing ( 2 ) and the female housing ( 2 ) has a locking arm ( 9 ) for engaging the hood ( 5 ) when the housings ( 1, 2 ) are fit together. Protection walls ( 19 ) are formed on the female housing ( 2 ) on opposite sides of the locking arm ( 9 ). The protection walls ( 19 ) are substantially flush with the hood ( 5 ) when the housings ( 1, 2 ) are fit together. An operation portion ( 20 ) of the locking arm ( 9 ) also is substantially flush with the hood ( 5 ) when the housings ( 1, 2 ) are fit together. A predetermined interval is set between opposed ends of the protection wall ( 19 ) and the hood ( 5 ) and between the operation portion ( 20 ) and the hood ( 5 ). Thus, an operator's gloves will not be caught while fitting the male and female housing ( 1, 2 ) together.
