ABSTRACT:
A connector 10 includes a female connector housing 11 accommodating male terminals 12, a male connector housing 13 accommodating female terminals 14, and a holder 17 carrying the male connector housing 13 in a sliding manner. The holder 17 is provided with an oblique slot 18, while the male connector housing 13 is provided with a projection 16 for slide engagement with the oblique slot 18. In engaging the male terminals 12 with the female terminals 14, on completion of the engagement between the connector housings 11, 13, the holder 17 is further pressed against the female connector housing 11 in an engagement direction A. Consequently, the pressing operation of the holder 17 is converted into the slide movement of the male connector housing 13 due to the engagement between the projection 16 and the oblique slot 18, so that the electrical connection between the terminals 12, 14 can be completed with low manipulating force.
