In a half-fitting prevention connector (1), a slider (31), which prevents a half-fitted condition, and has a retaining function, is received in a housing (4) of a first connector (2). A retaining portion (23) is formed on a housing (16) of a second connector (3). When the first and second connectors (2, 3) are fitted together, the retaining portion (23) abuts against an abutment portion (37) of the slider (31) to move the same, so that a spring portion (32) of the slider (31) produces a resilient force because of its own resiliency, thereby preventing a half-fitted condition. When the fitting operation is further continued, so that the two connectors are fitted together in the proper position, the retaining portion (23) on the second connector (3) is retainingly engaged with a bendable portion (36) of the slider (31), so that the two connectors are completely fitted together. For canceling the fitted condition of the first and second connectors (2, 3), a cancellation operating portion (11) is pressed to lift a retainment cancellation projection (11c) in a direction of arrow (P2), thereby disengaging the retaining portion (23) from the bendable portion (36), thus canceling the fitted condition.
