ABSTRACT:
The electrical connector has a main housing and a turnable member turnably supported on the main housing. The turnable member is turned to move a second connector toward the main housing from an initial mating state of the main housing with the second connector so as to completely couple the main housing with the second connector. The connector has a resilient engagement arm extended from the turnable member, a stopper projection formed in the resilient engagement arm, a guide portion formed in the main housing, and an engagement recess formed in the main housing. The stopper projection abuts against the guide portion so that the resilient engagement arm is in a yielded condition at a half-way mating state of the main housing with the second connector, while the stopper projection locks with the engagement recess by resiliency of the engagement arm when the main housing has completely coupled with the second connector. The connector has a locking arm formed in the turnable member and having an operating portion. The locking arm has resiliency to be positioned so as to bring the engagement arm in a locked state where the engagement arm is in a released condition, while the locking arm is deflected by the operating portion so as to bring the engagement arm in an unlocked state where the engagement arm can be in the yielded condition.
