Abstract
A connector has a first housing (21) provided movably in a holder (10) and movements thereof are regulated by locking between resilient locking pieces (15) formed on the holder (10) and locks (23) formed on the first housing (21). In the process of assembling a first device (60) and a second device (70), the first housing (21) and a second housing (40) are connected properly and lock releasing portions (47) resiliently deflect the resilient locking pieces (15) to separate the resilient locking pieces (15) from the locks (23). When locking between the resilient locking pieces (15) and the locks (23) is released, the first housing (21) moves with respect to the holder (10) while being kept properly connected to the second housing (40) as assembly of the first and second devices (60, 70) proceeds.
