Abstract
To provide a connector in which detection of a locked state can be made with a simple structure. When a lever 30 has been rotated to a normal position, a lock arm 35 provided on the lever 30 is engaged with a lock part 25 provided on a male housing 20, whereby a female housing 10 and the male housing 20 are held undetachably. At the same time, a detecting body 50 assembled to the lock arm 35 will be released from the locked condition where a locking claw 56 of the detecting body is abutted against an engaging face 40 of an engaging portion 38 of the lock arm 35 thereby to restrict a pushing movement. Thus, the detecting body 50 will be allowed to move to be pushed in the same direction of the rotation direction of the lever 30.
