ABSTRACT:
One connector housing includes a resilient locking arm having a through-hole provided at its tip, a pair of detection terminals attached to said resilient locking arm and opposed to the through-hole, a first spring portion provided on the side of a warping space of the resilient locking arm and inserted between the resilient locking arm and the pair of detection terminals, the first spring portion having a protrusion to be engaged in said through-hole so as to force the locking arm in an anti-warping direction, and a second spring portion always forcing said resilient locking arm in the anti-warping direction. Another connector housing includes an engagement protrusion which is to be engaged in the through-hole to push the protrusion, thereby warping the first spring portion in an anti-forcing direction to be brought into contact with the pair of detection terminals. Thus, connector fitting of one and another connector housings can be surely detected electrically. The fitting detection connector can have a buffer spring member which is arranged between the contact portion and intrusion protrusion of the first spring portion.
