A half-fitting prevention connector includes a female connector having a flexible lock arm, a male connector for fitting into the female connector, and a fitting detection member which is mounted on the female connector to slide in a fitting direction of the two connectors, and a half-fitted condition of the two connectors is detected by determining whether or not the fitting detection member can be slidingly moved. The fitting detection member includes a deflection prevention rib which is formed at a rear end thereof to prevent the deflection of the lock arm in a completely-fitted condition. When the completely-fitted condition is achieved, this deflection prevention rib is slid under the lock arm to prevent the deflection of the flexible lock arm. Therefore, even when a load is applied to the flexible lock arm, the locked condition will not be canceled, thereby stabling maintaining the fitted condition.
