ABSTRACT:
A low insertion force connector in which a slider can be firmly provisionally retained on a connector housing. In the low insertion force connector, a slider insertion hole is formed through an outer wall of one connector housing, and a slider has a provisionally-retaining arm and cam grooves, and the other connector housing has follower projections for movement along the cam grooves. A reception surface for the provisionally-retaining arm is formed on the outer wall of the connector housing. A recessed portion is formed at the outer wall, and the slider insertion hole is formed at the recessed portion, and an edge portion of the slider insertion hole, provided in the recessed portion, serves as the reception surface. The provisionally-retaining arm has front and rear projections spaced from each other in a direction of insertion of the slider, and the outer wall is disposed between and engaged with the front and rear projections, and the rear projection is abutted against the reception surface of the outer wall. The front projection has front and rear slanting surfaces, and the rear projection has a front surface, which is substantially perpendicular to the provisionally-retaining arm, and a rear slanting surface.
