PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce as much as possible the insertion force required when plugging a male member into a female member without decreasing the engagement force of the female member with respect to an object to be engaged. SOLUTION: A reception space 21f for a shank 11 of the male member 1 is formed in a socket 21 of the female member 2. The shank 11 of the male member 1 includes a check 11a and a slipping-out prevention engagement piece 11b. The check 11a has a diameter enough large to come in contact with an inner surface of an elastic engagement piece 21a of the female member 2, and to prevent the elastic engagement piece 21a from being bent when the shank 11 of the male member 1 is inserted in the reception space 21f of the female member 2. The slipping-out prevention engagement piece 11b is once elastically deformed when the shank 11 of the male member 1 is inserted from an insertion hole 20a of the female member 2 into the reception space 21f, and thereafter the engagement piece 11b rebounds at a position where the shank 11 is wholly inserted in the reception space 21f so as to enter to engage with a lateral slot 21g in the socket 21 of the female member 2 from the inner side of the reception space 21f.
