ABSTRACT:
An electric connector wherein a pair of connector housings can be fitted smoothly with each other at a step in accordance with an inertial locking system and besides can be separated smoothly from each other. The electric connector comprises, in addition to a conventional primary locking mechanism, another locking mechanism, which includes a locking spring member mounted on one of a pair of connector housings and having a pair of contacting pieces at ends of a pair of resilient arms thereof. The second locking mechanism further includes a pair of locking spring arresting portions provided on the other connector housing on loci of the contacting pieces upon fitting or removal of the housings and each having such a diamond-shaped profile that the contacting pieces follow different routes between fitting operation and separating operation of the first and second connector housings to allow smooth fitting in accordance with an inertial locking system and smooth separation with a small force.
