ABSTRACT:
The connector includes a body, a resilient locking arm provided on the body and with a locking projection at its free end which engages in a connection hole in a panel to lock the connector to the panel, and a lock-up detector. The lock-up detector is provided in a preliminarily engaged state between the locking arm and the body prior to the fitting of the connector to the panel with a length thereof protruded more than the locking projection. When the connector is completely locked to the panel, the lock-up detector is released from the preliminarily engaged state and becomes insertable by a push from the opposite side of the panel to the connector. This enables confirmation of whether a connector attached to the end of a wire harness is completely fitted to a panel, e.g., at a door portion of an automobile from outside the panel and improves the reliability of a connector as a product.
