Abstract:
1. A connector comprising: a first connector housing and a second connector housing, configured to connect terminals which are held in the first connector housing and the second connector housing respectively, by being completely fitted to each other; a fitting operation member, provided to be displaceable in a direction intersecting with a direction in which the first connector housing and the second connector housing are fitted, and configured to be displaced from a standby position to an operational position so as to make the first connector housing and the second connector housing, which are initially fitted, completely fitted by means of a cam mechanism; an elastic member urging the fitting operation member from the standby position to the operational position; and a temporary locking mechanism, configured to temporarily lock the fitting operation member receiving an urging force of the elastic member at the standby position before the first connector housing and the second connector housing are initially fitted, wherein a temporary locking is released when the first connector housing and the second connector housing are initially fitted, wherein the elastic member is mounted to cover the first connector housing, the elastic member is elastically deformed and kept in an expanded state while the fitting operation member is at the standby position, and which urges the fitting operation member from the standby position to the operational position with a force produced when the elastic member tends to be contracted.
