Abstract
A low insertion pressure connector including a first connector housing having driven protrusions, a second connector housing having guide grooves formed in the connector fitting direction corresponding to the driven protrusions respectively, and slide member insertion holes formed in the direction perpendicular to the connector fitting direction, a slide member having slide plates capable of being inserted into the slide member insertion holes respectively, and cam holes formed in the slide plates respectively so that each of which has first and second inclined portions to be bent into an approximate L shape. Stepped portions may be formed in the slide plates respectively, and supporting protrusions may be formed in the second connector housing so as to be capable of getting over the stepped portions to thereby support the slide plates in inclined states respectively. Inclined guide portions may be formed in the driven protrusions corresponding to inner turning points of -the cam holes respectively.
