Abstract

A slide member (30) is provided so as to freely slide back and forth in a direction where both connector housings (20 and 40) are fitted/detached into/from each other. When the slide member (30) slides forth, a point section (55) of a lever (50) is engaged with one engagement section (24) and the one connector housing (40) is drawn into the other connector housing (20) so that both the connector housings (20 and 40) are fitted into each other. Whereas when the slide member (30) slides back, a point section (56) of the lever (50) is engaged with the other engagement section (26) of the other connector housing (20) so that both the connector housings (20 and 40) are detached from each other. The other engagement section (26) is formed so as to protruded in a direction where a plurality of terminals (29) provided to the other connector housing (20) are protruded. Namely, a protruded length (L) of the other engagement section (26) becomes longer than a protruded length (H) of the terminals (29).
