ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a connector which comprises a female housing and a male housing to be fitted to said female housing for electrical connection therebetween. The connector has a locking structure including a locking arm having a locking edge portion provided on one of the housings and a locking projection provided on the other housing. The locking arm is flexibly supported on either the female or male housing and the locking projection is provided so as to be locked with the locking edge portion when the female and male housings are properly fitted together. The locking projection is constructed so as to camber the locking arm when the male housing is inserted into the female housing, thereby causing a restoring force to be generated in the locking arm. Further, the locking structure includes a member for increasing the restoring force to secure the fitting between the locking edge portion and locking projection without increasing the force required to disengage the locking structure.
