ABSTRACT:
A connector comprising a first connector housing having a resilient locking arm and side walls provided on both sides of the locking arm to protect the locking arm, and a second connector housing having a locking protrusion to engage the resilient locking arm for locking. The first connector housing has a mechanism for preventing an excessive shift of the locking arm when the resilient locking arm is unlocked from the locking protrusion. The mechanism includes an engagement member arranged on the locking arm which projects beyond the transverse sides of the locking arm and receipt members which extends from the respective side walls beneath the ends of the engagement member so as to hit thereon when said locking arm is pushed down. Thus, a mechanism for preventing an application of excessive stress to the locking arm can be provided without increasing the size of the connector housings.
