ABSTRACT:
A connector for electrically interconnecting first terminals and second terminals connected respectively to wirings is disclosed. The connector is capable of detecting a fitted condition between the first and second terminals by a fitted-condition detector. The connector includes a first connector element and a second connector element. The first connector element has a connector body. The first terminals are retained by the connector body. The first connector element is fitted in the second connector element, and the second connector element retains the second terminals fitted with respect to the first terminals. A flexible lock arm is provided integrally on the first connector element. A space is defined between the lock arm and the connector body. An engaging portion is formed on the second connector element. The lock arm is engaged with the engaging portion when the first connector element and the second connector element are perfectly fitted in each other. A fitting detecting section is arranged within the space between the connector body and the lock arm of the first connector element and is capable of detecting the fitted condition between said first and second connector elements by the fitted-condition detector.
