PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lock structure of a sub-connector, capable of sufficiently secure the contact margin of a terminal, since the fitting face of a connector becomes flush with the tip position of the sub-connector. SOLUTION: This lock structure is equipped with a cantilever flexible lock arm 14 provided in the sub-connector 10 and a locking part 15 which is provided in a sub-connector housing part and with which the flexible lock arm 14 is engaged by abutting, sliding, and returning to its original shape after it once bends when inserting the sub-connector 10 in the sub-connector housing part 13, and is to lock the sub-connector 10 to the sub-connector housing part 13 of a frame 12. A stroke difference absorbing means 18 to absorb a stroke difference S between the position of the lock arm 14 at the time when it bends and the engagement position at the time when it returns to its original shape so that the fitting face 16 of a main connector 11 to a counterpart connector becomes flush with the end face 17 of the sub-connector 10 with the lock arm 14 engaged with the locking part 15 is provided in the lock structure.
