With the aim of addressing the problem of maintaining a state in which a plurality of connectors are securely mated, the present disclosure teaches a connecting structure S that is a structure for connecting a first connector 1 and a second connector 2. The first connector 1 comprises a first housing 11 provided around the first connection terminal 10 and having at least one opening, and the second connector 2 comprises: a second housing 21 which is provided around a second connection terminal 20 and has an engaging portion 22 which engages with an opening 12 formed in the first housing 11 in a state in which the first connection terminal 10 and the second connection terminal 20 are mated and said second housing 21 is mated with the first housing 11; and a locking member 24 which is able to move in a longitudinal direction of the connecting structure S and prevents displacement of the engaging portion 22 in a direction of disengagement from the opening 12 in a state in which said locking member 24 is pushed in up to a predetermined position on the first connector 1 side.
