Abstract
A connector includes a first housinng and a second housing fitted to each other. The first housing has an engaging portion and the second housing has an elastic lock arm. The front end in an inserting direction of the elastic lock arm is integally connected to the second housing. The elastic lock arm extends in the inserting direction, which rear end in the inserting direction forms a free end. A lock projection is integrally formed on the elastic lock arm. The lock projection engages the engaging portion to be depressed by the engaging portion when fitting the second housing to the first housing, and has a first sliding face sliding on the engaging portion when depressed by the engaging portion. The first sliding face is formed such that an inclination angle thereof is substantially the same as a maximum bending angle of the elastic lock arm. The lock projection has a second sliding face disposed on a front side of the first sliding face.
