ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly with a connection confirmation mechanism having a male connector and a female connector. The male connector has formed on it an inclined projection which is formed at least at one side surface of the male connector and which inclines upward from the front end of the male connector to the base end. The female connector has formed in it a connection hole into which the front end of the male connector is inserted and insertion holes communicating with the inside of the connection hole. The lock member has formed on it side plates which fit into the insertion holes of the female connector so that the lock member is attached vertically movably with respect to the female connector. The side plates have formed on them elastic engagement pieces which elastically deform upon abutting with the inclined projections of the male connector and push up the lock member from the female connector by the abutting with the inclined projections and engagement grooves which enable the lock member to be pushed down into the female connector when the male connector is fit into the female connector and which enable engagement with the inclined projections.
