Abstract:
1. A connector comprising a spring portion, a lock member and a movable member, wherein: the spring portion has a front end and a rear end in a front-rear direction; the front end is a free end, while the rear end is a fixed end; the lock member includes a lock portion and an operated portion; the lock portion is movable between a lock position and an unlock position; the lock portion is moved when the operated portion is operated; the lock portion locks mating of the connector with a mating connector when the lock portion is positioned at the lock position; the lock portion allows the connector to be released from the mating connector when the lock portion is positioned at the unlock position; the movable member is movable between an operation position and a non-operation position in the front-rear direction; the movable member includes a pressed portion intersecting to the front-rear direction and an operation portion for operating the operated portion; the operation position is rearward of the non-operation position; when the movable member is forced to be moved rearward from the non-operation position to the operation position, the operation portion operates the operated portion to move the lock portion from the lock position to the unlock position; when the movable member is held at the operation position, the front end of the spring portion presses the pressed portion to move the movable member towards the non-operation position; and when the movable member is released, the movable member is moved back from the operation position to the non-operation position so that the operation portion stops operating the operated portion and the stopping moves the lock portion back to the lock position.
