ABSTRACT:
A partial-fitting prevention connector which can be positively fitted relative to a mating connector, and is prevented from being only partially fitted relative to the mating connector. When the partial-fitting prevention connector (1) is fitted relative to a mating connector (2), a retaining member (25), formed on a lock member (22), abuts against a retaining projection (34) formed on the mating connector (2), and the lock member (22) is pushed against the bias of a spring (23) in a rearward direction away from the mating connector. After the lock member has moved a predetermined distance, lock release projections (26a and 26b), formed on the lock member (22), slide over lock release projections (42a and 42b) formed on a support structure (41), thereby pivotally moving the lock member (22). When the fitting operation is further continued, the lock member (22) is urged by the spring (23) in the forward direction toward the mating connector and engages the retaining projection (34) to thereby retain the connectors to each other.
