ABSTRACT:
A connector fitting-detection mechanism which is rigid and simple in structure. In the connector fitting-detection mechanism (1), a fitting detection member (6) having flexible detection arms (7), which are provided with engagement projections (8) at the tip portions thereof, is supported at the rear portion of a female connector (2) so that the fitting detection member (6) is slidable forward and backward. A provisional engagement hole (10) and a primary engagement hole (11) engaging with the engagement projection (8) are provided along the fitting direction at each of the opposite side walls of the female connector (2). A disengagement projection (12) is provided at the front portion of each of the opposite side walls of a male connector (4). At the time of the complete fitting between the female and male connectors (2), (4), each of the projections (12) abuts against the provisionally engaged engagement projection (8) thereby to release the provisional engagement state thereof, so that the engagement projections (8) pass over the provisional engagement holes (10) and primarily engage with the primary engagement holes (11).
