Abstract
A connector with an elastic locking portion is formed to avoid exerting tension on a wire when the connector is disengaged from its mating connector. The elastic locking portion 28 is elastically deformable upward and downward on the top surface of a connector 20, and a pulling portion 34 projects at the rear side of the elastic locking portion 28. When the connector 20 connected with a mating connector is to be disengaged therefrom, the connectors are pulled in detaching directions while the elastic locking portion 28 is pressed. Since the connector 20 can be pulled by maneuvering the pulling portion 34 at this time, no tension is forcibly exerted on a wire.
