ABSTRACT:
A female connector (F) has a female housing (10) with a main body (11) and a lock arm (13) formed on an upper surface of the main body (11). A detector (40) is mounted on the upper surface of the lock arm (13) for movement between a standby position and a detecting position along a connecting direction of two connectors (F, M). Bulges (49) bulge out sideways from the opposite lateral edges of a resilient locking piece (41) provided in the detector (40). The bulges (49) engage an opening edge (29) of a locking hole (22) at the upper surface of the lock arm (13) to prevent the resilient locking piece (41) from being resiliently deformed down to insert a locking section (42) into the locking hole (22).
