ABSTRACT:
One of two connector housings adapted to be fitted with each other has a slider with a cam section. The second connector housing is formed with a slider pressure protrusion. When the connector housings are fitted with each other, the slider is moved against the force of a spring as the slider pressure protrusion applies a sliding pressure to the cam section. The slider is in the original position thereof when the connectors are not fitted, comes away from the original position in the process of the connector housings being fitted with each other, and returns to the original position upon complete fitting of the connector housings. The first connector housing and the slider each include a fitting detection terminal adapted to fit each other when the slider is in the original position and come out of contact from each other when the slider leaves the original position. As a result, dust and dirt are prevented from attaching on the mutual contact surfaces of the fitting detection terminals for an improved reliability of fitting detection.
