ABSTRACT:
In a low insertion force connector, fitting members 30 and 40 are constituted respectively by a first cam member 30 and a second cam member 40 opposed to each other in a hood portion 21. In each of the first and second cam members, cam grooves 36, 46 for respectively guiding cam projections 12 and 13 are formed respectively in opposed walls 32, 42 of a frame-like body 31, 41. Fitting guide portions 37, 47 for respectively receiving the cam projections are formed respectively in extension walls 33, 43 extending respectively form the opposed walls. A window 35, 45 is formed in a guide groove 34, 44 formed in the extension wall, and is connected to an outlet of the cam groove. The extension walls of the first cam member are received respectively in the guide grooves in the second cam member, and the extension walls of the second cam member are received respectively in the guide grooves in the first cam member. The cam groove in the first cam member and the fitting guide portion in the second cam member are slanting in the same direction at the same angle, and the fitting guide portion in the first cam member and the cam groove in the second cam member are slanting in the same direction at the same angle. Therefore, a pair of connector housings can be fitted together with a lower insertion force.
