ABSTRACT:
A connector includes female and male housings (10, 40) that are connectable along a connecting direction (CD). A connection detector (30) is mounted on the female housing (10) for movement along the connecting direction (CD) between standby and detection positions. The connection detector (30) does not contact receiving portions (48) of the male housing (40) when the connection detector (30) is at the standby position. However, pressing portions (32) of the connection detector (30) press the receiving portions (48) when the connection detector (CD) is at the detection position to prevent relative movements of the connection detector (30) and the male connector housing (40). Thus, connection resistance between the receiving portions (48) and the pressing portions (32) is not produced when the connection detector (30) is at the standby position.
