ABSTRACT:
A connector includes a first connector housing having a resiliently deflectable lock arm in an outer wall of the first connector housing and a second connector housing having a lock arm engaging with a locking piece fitted in the first connector housing. In the complete engaged state of the pair of connector housings, the lock arm engages with the locking piece so that the first and second connector housings are secured to each other. The connector further includes an engagement confirming member movably attached to the lock arm and an engagement retaining wall standing and positioned adjacently to the engagement confirming member. In the complete engagement of the pair of connector housings, the engagement confirming member is moved onto a top portion of the engagement retaining wall to prevent the lock arm from deflecting. The engagement confirming member is preferably attached movably in a substantially orthogonal direction to the engagement direction of the connector housings.
