ABSTRACT:
A connector (100) includes a cover defining a receiving space for receiving a terminal module (3). A notch (15) is defined through a side wall of the cover. A concaved stop portion (151) is defined in the side wall of the cover and communicating with the notch. The terminal module has a number of terminals (33) held therein and includes a forwardly projecting mating portion (32) beyond the cover. A lock member (34) is received in the housing for mating with a mating connector. A lock-release button (24) is received in the notch for urging the lock member into a release position and includes a fixing end fixed to the cover and a free operating base (240) swinging about the fixing end. A stop plate (241) projects from the free operating base to engage with the stop portion of the cover for preventing the lock-release button disengaging the notch.
