Abstract

A female connector housing is formed by arranging a fixed terminal holder so as to be fixed on an outer housing and arranging a movable terminal holder so as to be movable in a direction of insertion. The movable terminal holder is held with a front end thereof being ahead of the fixed terminal holder in the direction of insertion. Therefore, when the female connector housing is inserted into a male connector housing, a terminal group arranged on the movable terminal holder is first coupled, and a terminal group arranged on the fixed terminal holder is then coupled. In other words, all the terminals are coupled while divided into two groups at a single inserting stroke.
