Abstract
A structure for preventing looseness of an electrical connector comprises a first connector housing, a second connector housing having a hood for accommodating the first connector housing, a locking projecting portion mounted on a locking arm which is formed at the first connector housing, and a locking hole formed at the hood so as to be engaged with the locking projecting portion. The first connector housing and the second connector housing are coupled with each other wherein the locking projection has taper portions so as to become progressively smaller in projecting direction of a main body like a square pole at both side walls locating in the coupling direction. A spacing between both lower edges of said taper portions is set to be approximately equal to a spacing between both inner wall surfaces locating in an orthogonal direction to coupling direction at the locking hole.
