ABSTRACT:
A hood (14) is provided in a male housing (11). The hood (14) has an inwardly projected locking claw (16) for keeping the female housing (21) fit in the male housing (11) when a to-be-locked portion (47) of a female housing (21) is locked to the locking claw (16). A locking means penetration space (17) is provided rearward from the locking claw (16) for receiving the to-be-locked portion (47) of the female housing (21). The locking means penetration space (17) opens to the outside along a direction intersecting a fit-in/separation direction of the female housing (21). A rear of the locking means penetration space (17) inside the hood (14) has an inwardly projecting reinforcing rib (18) opposite the locking claw (16) and extended in the fit-in/separation direction of the female housing (21).
