ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an LIF connector in which a reverse insertion of a slider can be detected rapidly and easily although the connector has a simple construction. The LIF connector includes an LIF (low insertion force) mechanism in which a slider is slidable over a first connector through guides, and by sliding the slider, a second connector can be inserted into and withdrawn from the first connector. A pair of retractable projections are provided respectively on opposed side walls of the slider, and each of the projections has an inclined surface and a substantially vertical abutment surface. When the slider is inserted with directions of its front and rear ends kept proper, the inclined surface is brought into sliding contact with the associated guide to thereby retract the projection. When the slider is inserted with the directions of its front and rear ends reversed, the abutment surface abuts against the associated guide to thereby prevent the insertion of the slider.
