ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a pair of opposing connector housings (A) (B) mateable to one another, in which terminals accommodated therein are electrically coupled. Furthermore, the connector has a sliding member, (C) and a sliding member insertion slit (6) (12) is provided in each of the connector housings (A) (B) so as to extend as crossing with the mating direction of the connector housings (A) (B). From an inner surface of the sliding member insertion slit (12) of one of the connector housings (A) (B) is protruding a cam pin (13). Meanwhile, the sliding member (C) has a cam groove (15) which engages with the cam pin (13) so as to guide the pair of connector housings (A) (B) up to the full mated state. The sliding member (C) has a provisional lock (19) for provisionally locking the sliding member, (C) which protrudes from a sliding face of the sliding member (C) and is resiliently supported on the sliding member (C). An increased insertion force allows the sliding member (C) to ride over the provisional lock (19) so as to fully insert the sliding member (C).
