An elastic portion (24) is provided at a bottom surface of a fitting hole (22) formed in a housing (21) of a female connector (20). When a housing (31) of a male connector (30) reaches a reference position (B) during a connector-fitting operation, a bottom surface of the housing (31) contacts a distal end portion (24b) of the elastic portion (24), and presses and displaces this distal end portion (24b) downward. Because of a reaction force produced as a result of this displacement, the elastic portion (24) keeps on urging the housing (31) of the male connector (30) in a direction (upward) of fitting of a lock portion (33) into a lock portion-retaining portion (33).
