Claim:
A connector, comprising: a housing having opposite front and rear ends, the front end being configured for receiving a mating housing of a mating connector; a slider assembled in the front end of the housing and movable along connecting and separating directions of the two housings; and a biasing member in the housing and capable of accumulating a biasing force to separate the two housings by being pushed by the mating housing during connection of the housings, wherein: the housing includes at least one escaping groove extending rearwardly from the front end of the housing and being defined by at least first and second intersecting surfaces extending substantially parallel to the connecting and separating directions, and at least one receiving portion projecting from the first surface of the escaping groove and being spaced from the second surface thereof; at least one locking projection formed on the slider and having a guiding surface for guiding a movement of the locking projection over the receiving portion when the slider is assembled and a restriction configured for entering the escaping groove between the receiving portion and the second surface of the escaping groove and sliding against the second surface of the escaping groove for restricting displacement of the slider along a direction intersecting a moving direction of the slider; and the restriction bulges out more than the guiding surface.
