ABSTRACT:
A connector is provided which is mounted in a hole in a structure such as an automotive door and with an easy-to-handle fitting-completion detector with which whether connector housings are fitted to each other can be reliably checked. The fitting-completion detector (3) is mounted on one connector housing (1), with locking claws of its holding arms (13) engaged in locking grooves (7) in the one connector housing. The other connector housing (2) is provided with sloped release projections 11 that advance into respective locking grooves (7). The fitting-completion detector includes insertion prevention portions (14, 14'). While the connector housings are not being fitted together, owing to the insertion prevention portions (14, 14'), the one connector housing is prevented from entering the hole. When the connector housings are fitted, the release projections (11) slidingly contact respective locking claws (13a) to move the holding arms (13, 13') outwardly until the fitting-completion detector (3) is disengaged, at which time it is removable.
