ABSTRACT:
A housings (20) has a lock arm (30) that engages a mating housing (10) when the housings (10, 20) are connected completely. A cover (40) is mounted slidably on the housing (20) and is pushed rearward as the housings (10, 20) are being connected. The cover (40) is biased forward by springs (45) that have front ends connected releasably to the cover (40). The springs (45) separate the housings (10, 20) if the connecting operation is stopped too soon. However the springs (45) are released from the cover (40) and expand to an unbiased state when the connection is complete.
