A connector with a locking mechanism which includes a plug body, a cylindrical member secured to an outer periphery of the plug body, a slidable cover provided for forward and rearward movement on an outer periphery of the cylindrical member, a locking member provided for forward and rearward movement between the slidable cover and the cylindrical member, and a spring provided between the locking member and the cylindrical member for forwardly biasing said locking member. The locking member is provided with an interlocking portion interlocked to the slidable cover such that it is moved rearwardly against the spring force of the spring with a rearward movement of the slidable cover. A socket is provided which has contacts electrically connected to the contacts of the plug body. The slidable cover and the locking member are provided with respective interlocking portions interlocked to each other with a rearward movement of the slidable cover, and the interlocking portions are arranged such that a fixed gap is formed between the two in a state in which the contact surface of the locking portion provided on the front end of the locking member engages with the inclined member provided on the side of the plug body.
