Claim Text:
1. A connector, comprising: a first housing; a second housing connectable to the first housing along a connecting direction and configured to be held connected to the first housing at a proper connection position; and at least one detector mounted on the first housing and configured to be pressed by the second housing when connecting the first and second housings, the detector having two spaced apart resilient arms configured to slide on at least one guiding surface on one of the first and second housings when connecting the first and second housings and to be deflect resiliently toward one another in directions intersecting the connecting direction when connecting the first and second housings, resilient restoring forces of the deflected resilient arms applying a separation force to the second housing in a direction to separate the second housing from the first housing so that the deflected resilient arm of the detector separates the second housing from the first housing when the first and second housings are not connected completely, thereby detecting an incomplete connection of the first and second housings.
