Abstract:
A connector that is difficult to be released from a state fitted to a mating connector when an unexpected external force acts on the connector, and is removed from the mating connector with a small operating force when intentionally releasing the fitted state. An unlocking member of the connector for releasing this connector from the fitted state includes a releasing portion for releasing an elastic locking portion of the mating connector from a state caught by a catching portion of a connector body fitted to the mating connector, and a sliding portion for sliding on the connector body. The connector body includes a supporting portion for slidably supporting the sliding portion. A guide surface is formed on the supporting portion for guiding the sliding portion such that the releasing portion is displaced toward the elastic locking portion, to thereby release the caught state.

Claim (Index 1):
A connector comprising:\n a connector body that can be fitted to a mating connector including an elastic locking portion; and an unlocking member that is mounted on the connector body in a manner movable in a connector fitting direction and a connector removing direction, for releasing the connector from a state fitted to the mating connector, the connector body including a catching portion that catches the elastic locking portion, for maintaining the connector in the state fitted to the mating connector, wherein the unlocking member includes: a releasing portion for releasing the elastic locking portion from a state caught by the catching portion; and a sliding portion for sliding on the connector body, wherein the connector body includes a supporting portion that slidably supports the sliding portion when the unlocking member is pulled in the connector removing direction, and wherein at least one of the supporting portion and the sliding portion has a guide surface formed thereon which is sloped such that the guide surface becomes closer to the elastic locking portion as the guide surface extends from a front side to a rear side of the connector body in the connector fitting direction, for guiding the sliding portion such that the releasing portion is displaced toward the elastic locking portion, to thereby cause the elastic locking portion to be released from the state caught by the catching portion.
