ABSTRACT:
A male housing (1) has a hood (5) for receiving a female housing (2) and the female housing (2) has a locking arm (9) for engaging the hood (5) when the housings (1, 2) are fit together. Protection walls (19) are formed on the female housing (2) on opposite sides of the locking arm (9). The protection walls (19) are substantially flush with the hood (5) when the housings (1, 2) are fit together. An operation portion (20) of the locking arm (9) also is substantially flush with the hood (5) when the housings (1, 2) are fit together. A predetermined interval is set between opposed ends of the protection wall (19) and the hood (5) and between the operation portion (20) and the hood (5). Thus, an operator's gloves will not be caught while fitting the male and female housing (1, 2) together.
