Patent ID: 8231401

Claim:
A connector, comprising: a housing connectable with a mating housing; at least one lock arm including a support projecting from the housing and a resiliently deformable arm portion cantilevered substantially forward in a connecting direction from the support, the arm portion being adapted to hold the two housings in a connected state by a locking movement of the arm portion when the two housings are connected properly; at least one pressable portion unitary with the housing and the support, the pressable portion being located behind the support in the connecting direction; a front wall at least partly covering a free end of the arm portion; and a rear wall at least partly covering the support and an end of the arm portion adjacent the support, the rear wall being spaced from the front wall so that an unlocking space is defined between the front wall and the rear wall for permitting entry of a finger for deforming the arm portion, and a rearwardly facing finger stop on the rear wall stepped up from the pressable portion, the finger stop preventing a finger placed on the pressable portion in a connecting process from inadvertently moving forward and into contact with the arm portion.
