Abstract
A lock arm (31) includes a leg portion (31b), which is provided at an intermediate portion of a lock portion (34) between at a front end portion and a rear end thereof, and extends to a housing body (35) of a male connector housing (33), and the lock arm can be pivotally moved on the leg portion (31b) serving as a fulcrum. A fitting detection member (51) of a lever-like shape is mounted on the male connector housing (33) such that when the fitting detection member is pressed down by a detection member-limiting portion (61), provided at the rear end of the lock arm (31), a front end portion of the fitting detection member is pivotally displaced outwardly from the housing body (35).
