ABSTRACT:
The connector is structured such that a spring piece member 30 supported by a male side connector housing 10 can be compressed in the two directions of the sliding motion of the connector when the connector is mounted and removed, a seesaw type lever piece member 40 disposed so as to be seesawable in the sliding direction of a female connector housing 20 can be inclined forwardly and backwardly into engagement with the two end portions of the spring piece member 30, and the seesaw type lever piece member 40 can be inclined according to the fitted state of the connector by a waiting side guide projection piece 17 and a movable side guide 45 respectively provided in the male side and female side connector housings 10 and 20. Thanks to this structure, resilient forces respectively to pull back and push out the two connector housings in a half fitted state can be obtained from the same elastic member, that is, the spring piece member 30, and engagement and disengagement between the seesaw type lever piece member 40 and the spring piece member 30 can be achieved within a small operation range, which makes it possible to realize a compact and half fitted connector.
