Abstract:
1. A connector comprising: a housing fittable on a mating housing, and a fit-on detector mounted on the housing for movement between a wait position and a detection position, the fit-on detector being held in the wait position in a process of fitting the housing and the mating housing together, and is allowed to move to the detection position when the housing and the mating housing have been fit together properly, at least one flexing strip being formed on one of the housing and the fit-on detector, an interference part formed on other of said housing and said fit-on detector, and a distinguishing part formed on the flexing strip and having a color different from a color of the other of the housing and said fit-on detector; the flexing strip interfering with the interference part in a process of moving said fit-on detector from the wait position to the detection position and being elastically deformed; the flexing strip being released from the interference part and being elastically restored to an original state when the fit-on detector has reached the detection position; and a position of the distinguishing part relative to the interference part changes before and after the flexing strip flexes, whereby the distinguishing part is exposed or hidden when the connector is viewed from a distinguishing position.
