Abstract:
A half-fitting prevention connector, comprising:a first connector housing having a lock arm formed therein, the lock arm including a lock projection; a second connector housing fittable to the first connector housing; an urging member attachable into the first connector housing, the urging member producing an urging force in a fitting-canceling direction between the first and second connector housings; a slider insertable into the first connector housing, the slider preventing a half-fitted condition of the first and second connector housings by the urging force of the urging member, wherein when the first and second connector housings are fitted to each other, the slider cooperates with the urging member to move between a lock position where the slider holds the lock arm in a retained relation to the second connector housing and a non-lock position, and the lock projection of the lock arm retains the slider in the lock position against the urging force of the urging member; and a slanting surface formed on at least one of an engagement portion of the slider and the lock projection which abut against each other when said slider is in said lock position, in order to dissipate an impinging force of the slider with the lock projection, and wherein said engagement portion includes a first surface and said lock projection includes a second surface, and, wherein said first and second surfaces directly contact each other and are inclined with respect to each other.
