ABSTRACT:
A housing assembly for a pair of electric connectors includes a first housing with a lock arm to lock the first housing inserted into a second housing, and a reinforcing member held by the first housing. The reinforcing member can be pushed into the first housing only when the first housing and the second housing are completely properly fitted together. The coupling strength between the housings is enhanced by the coupling strength of the reinforcing member, and the operator can easily and properly judge the proper fitting of the housings on the basis that the reinforcing member can be pushed in. As the first housing holds the reinforcing member, the fitting work can be done smoothly and reliably. Both housings can be made slimmer. This assembly allows a single-action fitting wherein the first housing can be fitted in the second housing by pushing only the reinforcing member.
