ABSTRACT:
An easily produced connector is provided with a partial engagement preventing function. A movable member 30 movably provided in a male connector housing along an engagement direction is biased by coil springs 40 toward a front end position with respect to the engagement direction. When the engagement is stopped when connector housings 10, 20 are partly engaged, the connector housings 10, 20 are separated away from each other by the forces of the coil springs 40, thereby informing an operator that the connector housings 10, 20 were partly engaged. The movable member 30 is formed with an engaging hole 31 which extends in a direction normal to its moving direction and is engageable with a lock arm 12 provided on the female connector housing 10. By providing an engaging portion with the lock arm 12 in the movable member 30, the connector housing can have a simpler construction and can be easily produced unlike a prior art male connector housing which has a complicated construction because the engaging portion is provided therein.
