ABSTRACT:
A connector housing assembly used for connection in an electrical wiring and having a pair of connector housings capable of being fitted to each other. A locking arm is provided on one of the pair of connector housings, while a lock hook capable of receiving the locking arm is provided on the other connector housing. The locking arm extends in the direction of fitting of the connector housings and forms a free end portion at its fitting end. The locking arm has an engagement projection and an operating lever extending in the direction opposite to the direction toward the free end. To detach the connector housings from each other, the operating lever is moved upward to be rotated on a fulcrum so as to downwardly move the free end portion of the locking arm, thereby unlocking the locking arm. Thus, a locking arm having an operating lever is provided to form a lock mechanism improved in handling, which enables a pair of connector housings to be easily fitted to or detached from each other.
