<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a stacking connector having a lock mechanism reliably preventing unintended removal of the fitted stacking connector due to vibration or shock, etc., without requiring special work therefor and a package structure using the stacking connector. SOLUTION: With respect to a plug connector 31 and a receptacle connector 32 of a free insertion/removal fitting structure, for example, a housing 61 of the plug connector is made female relative to a housing 62 of the receptacle connector, and a lock pawl 4 is provided in the female housing 61 of the plug connector. The lock pawl 4 is so constructed that it obtains a torque by the housing 62 of the receptacle connector to carry out a seesaw movement in a plane perpendicular to an opening surface of the housing 61 when entering the receptacle connector 32 when both connector 31, 32 are fitted together and its upper hook portion 42 is engaged with the receptacle connector 32 to forcedly stop a movement in an anti-entering direction when both connectors 31, 32 is not fitted together.</p> |
