ABSTRACT:
When a slide member of a connector is moved toward a provisionally-retained position, each slanting guided surface is moved into sliding contact with an associated slanting guide surface, and is guided by the guide surface, so that the posture of the slide member is inclined upwardly outwardly. During this movement, the slide member is not interrupted, and therefore an operator's fingers will not be disengaged from the slide member. Therefore, the slide member can be withdrawn in a single continuous motion. Additionally, another feature of the connector prevents a flat cable from being erroneously inserted into a slide member insertion space in a provisionally-retained condition. In the provisionally-retained condition, erroneous insertion prevention piece portions project into an open portion of the slide member insertion space, and therefore, the flat cable advancing toward the open portion abuts against guide surfaces of the erroneous insertion prevention piece portions, and is guided by the guide surfaces toward a lower open portion into a flat cable insertion space. Therefore, the flat cable will not be erroneously inserted into the slide member insertion space.
