ABSTRACT:
A connector is configured to define a small cross-section when viewed in a direction of connection. The connector includes a housing [10] and an electric part [20]. A lock arm [16] is provided for locking the housing [10] and the electric part [20] in their connected state. The lock arm 16 is arranged in a rectangular dead space [SL] enclosed by upper and left terminal accommodating portions [11A, 11C] and an upper left corner portion of a rectangular receptacle [31]. Accordingly, the shape of a connector when viewed in a direction of connection can be made smaller as compared with a case where the lock arm [16] is provided on the outer surface of the terminal accommodating portions [11A, 11B, 11C, 11D].
