ABSTRACT:
A slider (40) is movable forward and back in a male housing (20) and is pushed back as a female housing (10) is connected with the male housing (20). A compression coil spring (S) accumulates a biasing force as the slider (40) is moved back. The male housing (20) has escaping grooves (37) for receiving locking projections (47) of the slider (40) and receiving portions (38) engageable with the locking projections (47) to prevent the slider (40) from coming out. Each locking projection (47) has a guiding surface (48a) for guiding the locking projection (47) over the receiving portion (38) when the slider (40) is assembled, and a restriction (49) for engaging an upper edge (37a) of the escaping groove (37) and restricting upward displacement of the slider (40). The restricting portions (49) bulge out more than the guiding surface (48a).
