ABSTRACT:
A first housing (10) is formed with guiding holes (24) through which a releasing member (26) is inserted while being held in contact therewith in a movable range between a standby area and a releasing position. In the process of connecting the first housing (10) and a second housing (40), the resilient pieces (18) come into engagement with the second housing (40) to be resiliently deformed, thereby releasing an interlocked state of the resilient pieces (18) and locking pieces (29), while the locking pieces (29) are not in contact with the second housing (40). Since the first housing (10) is formed with the guiding holes (24) through which the releasing member (26) is inserted while being held in contact therewith, the releasing member (26) is smoothly moved without being displaced and being forced.
