Abstract:
The connector includes an inner housing, an outer housing, a locking mechanism for locking, a spring member that pushes back the inner housing during half fitting, and a pushback regulating position that regulates a pushback position. The pushback regulating portion includes a claw portion, a stepped portion against which the claw portion abuts, and a sliding load portion that makes a sliding friction force between the inner housing and the outer housing at a predetermined timing before abutting to be larger than the sliding friction force before the predetermined timing.

Claim (Index 1):
A connector comprising:\n a tubular inner housing configured to hold connecting terminals therein; a tubular outer housing configured to surround an outer periphery of the inner housing and to be slidable in a fitting direction; a locking mechanism configured to lock the inner housing with a mating connector at a fitting position; a spring member configured to bias the inner housing to a rear in the fitting direction to push back the inner housing with respect to the outer housing when a fitting operation is released in a state that the inner housing is in a half fitting position; and a pushback regulating portion that regulates a position where the inner housing is pushed back to the rear in the fitting direction, wherein the pushback regulating portion includes:\n a claw portion that protrudes from a first sliding surface of one of the inner housing and the outer housing; \n a stepped portion that is provided on a second sliding surface of the other of the inner housing and the outer housing and is configured to abut against the claw portion when the inner housing is pushed back; and \n a sliding load portion that makes a sliding frictional force between the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface at a predetermined timing before the claw portion and the stepped portion abut against each other to be larger than the sliding frictional force before the predetermined timing.
