A connector including a first connector housing; a second connector housing to be engaged with the first connector housing; a locking arm and pair of ribs for maintaining the engagement of the first and second connector housings. The locking arm includes: an arm part extending vertically from an upper wall of the first connector housing and extending in the engaging direction; and a pair of locking parts projecting toward sides of the arm part 91 in an extending direction from a tip of the arm part. The pair of ribs are extending vertically from a second hood, positioned nearer sides of the arm part than the pair of locking parts, and abuts on the pair of locking parts when the first and second connector housings are engaged with each other.
1. A connector comprising:
a first connector housing;
a second connector to be engaged with the first connector housing;
a locking arm formed on an outer wall of any one of the first and second connector housings; and
a locking arm receiver formed vertically on an outer wall of the other connector housing,
wherein when the locking arm is locked on the locking arm receiver, the engagement of the first and second connector housings is maintained,
wherein the locking arm includes: an arm part extending vertically from the outer wall of the one connector housing and extending in an engaging direction of the first and second connector housings; and a locking part projecting laterally from the tip of the arm part in an extending direction of the arm part,
wherein when the first and second connector housings are engaged with each other, the locking part is moved over and locked on the locking arm receiver, and positioned on a side of the locking arm receiver,
wherein when the first and second connector housings are engaged with each other, the arm part of the locking arm is bent about a base end thereof, and the locking part of the locking arm is moved over a rib and locked on the locking arm receiver, and
wherein when the locking part of the locking arm is moved over the rib, a first contact position where the locking part firstly abuts on the rib is positioned higher than the base end in a bending direction of the arm part.
