ABSTRACT:
Male and female housings (10, 20) are connected and locked together by the engagement of a lock arm (22) of the female housing (20) and a lock (18) of a receptacle (12). Upon separating the two housings (10, 20), an operable portion (24) at the rear end of the lock arm (22) is operated to disengage the lock arm (22) from the lock (18), thereby canceling the locked state. Since the operable portion (24) is located in a notch (17) formed at the front end edge of the receptacle (12) with the two housings (10, 20) connected, a connector can be miniaturized with respect to a connecting direction of the two housings (10, 20).
