Abstract
In a connector, a locking connection detection member is beforehand attached to a rear portion of a male connector housing and is retained thereto by resilient retaining pieces of the locking connection detection member in such a manner that the locking connection detection member is extended rearwardly from the male connector housing. Engagement release projections for the resilient retaining pieces are provided on the female connector housing so that when the male and female connector housing are completely connected together with the lock arm engaged with the engagement portion, the engagement release projections release the retaining of the resilient retaining piece, thereby enabling the removal of the locking connection detection member. According to this arrangement, a complete connection of a connector can be detected easily.
