Abstract
A connector is provided with a lock portion, a lock supporting portion and a lock releasing member. A part of the connector forms a fitting portion to be received by a mating fitting portion of a mating connector in a mated state. The lock portion is provided in the fitting portion and locks a mating lock portion in the mated state. The lock supporting portion supports the lock portion to allow movement of the lock portion in a direction intersecting with a fitting direction. The lock releasing member is provided with a pressing portion. When release operation of the lock releasing member is performed, the pressing portion presses a pressed portion to move the lock portion toward an inside of the fitting portion in a perpendicular to the fitting direction.
