ABSTRACT:
A lock arm (15) is in the form of a cantilever and hitting portions (25) are arranged at positions closer to the free end of the lock arm (15) than a lock portion (20), a distance from a supporting point of the resilient deformation of the lock arm (15) (leg portion (17)) to the hitting portions (25) can be made longer as compared to a seesaw-shaped lock arm. This means that larger moment forces of the hitting portions (25) can be ensured when the lock arm (15) is resiliently deformed. Therefore, a large hitting sound can be produced when two connector housings (10, 30) are properly connected.
