Claim 0:
1. A plug housing fittable to a receptacle housing, the plug housing comprising:
a housing main body including:
an inserted part; and
an exposed part, wherein:

the inserted part is inserted in the receptacle housing and the exposed part is exposed outside the receptacle housing, in a state where the plug housing is fitted to the receptacle housing,
the exposed part includes an exposed surface to be exposed in an intersecting axis intersecting with an insertion direction of inserting the inserted part in the receptacle housing in the state where the plug housing is fitted to the receptacle housing,
the housing main body is capable of holding plug terminals to be arranged in the intersecting axis,
the exposed part includes:
a hook part formed at an end of the exposed part in the intersecting axis, the hook part being configured to hook a finger thereon; and
a contact part contactable with another plug housing between the hook part and the inserted part when the another plug housing is disposed adjacent to the plug housing in the intersecting axis,

the hook part is a protrusion that protrudes from the exposed surface outward in the intersecting axis,
the contact part is a protrusion that protrudes from the exposed surface outward in the intersecting axis,
the hook part is configured such that the protrusion does not overlap with the receptacle housing when viewed from the intersecting axis in the state where the plug housing is fitted to the receptacle housing,
the exposed surface has a substantially rectangular shape in a state viewed along the intersecting axis,
the hook part and the contact part are formed to extend along a peripheral edge of the exposed surface,
the hook part is formed on a side part of the exposed surface on this side in the insertion direction such that the hook part extends in a third axis intersecting with the insertion direction and with the intersecting axis, and
the contact part is provided continuously from an end, in the third axis, of the hook part and is formed along a side part of the exposed surface such that the contact part extends in the insertion direction, the side part being one side in the third axis.
