Abstract:
A connector comprising:a housing which holds a terminal that is to be fitted with a counter connector; a slider which is attached to said housing to be relatively slidable; and a cam member having a first cam portion which is engageable with a cam component disposed in said counter connector, and a second cam portion which is engageable with a cam component disposed in said slider, wherein shapes of said first and second cam portions are set so that, when said slider relatively slides with respect to said housing in a state where said first cam portion is engaged with said cam component of said counter connector and said second cam portion is engaged with said cam component of said slider, a sliding force is converted by a cam function of said cam member into a fitting force of said connectors which is larger than the sliding force, and said housing having a disengageable latching portion, said latching portion disengaged by a latching canceling portion provided on the slider so that said cam member is moved to a swinging angle position where said second cam portion is engageable with said slider.
