Abstract
A connector device comprising female and male connector housings and a lock means, one of the connector housings being provided with a resilient tongue piece possessing a check claw and the other connector housing being provided with a crosspiece adapted to receive the check claw into fast engagement and the lock means being provided with an insertion piece possessing a check means. After the paired connector housings have been fastened to each other and the check claw of the resilient tongue piece has been brought into fast engagement with the crosspiece to establish electric continuity between the opposed terminals incorporated within the connector housings, the insertion piece possessing the check means is inserted into the space formed below the resilient tongue piece and the check means is brought into fast engagement with the support legs of the crosspiece. Consequently, the resilient tongue piece is prevented from being bent downwardly, with the result that the two connector housings become inseparable and the insertion piece becomes substantially inseparable. The connector device, therefore, keeps the two connector housings sealed in their fastened state.
