Abstract
In a half-fitting prevention connector (31) of the invention, a fitting detection member (60) is moved to a proper-fitting detecting position in a female connector (40) before connection terminals are automatically inserted by an automatic terminal inserting machine. As a result of this movement, a rear end of the fitting detection member (60) substantially coincides with a rear end surface of the housing of the female connector (40), so that the connection terminals can be automatically inserted into terminal accommodating chambers (40a) by the automatic terminal inserting machine.
