ABSTRACT:
A male connector 20 includes a male connector housing 22 formed with a multitude of cavities 21, and male terminals 23 mounted in the corresponding cavities 21. A female connector 10 includes a female connector housing 12 and female terminals mounted in the female connector housing 12. A pair of ribs 15 project from the opposite lateral sides of the leading end of the female connector housing 12 to prevent erroneous insertion of the female connector housing. Guide grooves 27 engageable with the ribs 15 are formed in a receptacle 24. Stepped portions 28 are formed on opposed inner wall surfaces of the receptacle 24 in positions higher (more toward the opening edge of the receptacle 24) than the male terminals 23. The obliquely inserted female connector housing 12 comes into contact with the stepped portions 28 and thereby any further entry thereof is blocked.
