ABSTRACT:
A cam pin (2) is provided on a male connector (1). A cam groove (25) is formed on a lever (15) of a female connector (5). On a bottom surface (30) of a cam part (27) of the cam groove (25), an escape hole (32) is formed at the side of a cam surface (28) for separation, with the escape hole (32) penetrates through an outer wall of a cam plate part (17). The groove width of the cam part (27) is larger than the outer diameter of the cam pin (2). Even though foreign matter such as sand penetrates into the cam groove (25) in a fitted state of the female connector (5) and the male connector (1), the foreign matter can be discharged from the escape hole (32) to the outside of the connector. If some foreign matter does not pass through the escape hole (32) but is left in the cam part (27), the groove width of the cam part (27) is larger than the outer diameter of the cam pin (2) so that the foreign matter does not interfere with a movement of the cam pin (2).
