Abstract

A connector includes a first housing 10 having a resiliently deformable lock arm ( 25 ), and a lock hole ( 28 ) is formed in the lock arm ( 25 ). A second housing ( 50 ) is connectable to and separable from the first housing ( 10 ). A lock projection ( 53 ) is formed on the second housing ( 50 ) and is configured to lock the housings ( 10, 50 ) in a connected state by being locked to the lock hole ( 28 ). A wire cover ( 33 ) is attached to the first housing ( 10 ) and is configured to turn wires ( 32 ) drawn out from the first housing ( 10 ). A covering portion ( 39 ) is formed on the wire cover ( 33 ) and covers a locking part of the lock hole ( 28 ) and the lock projection ( 53 ) from an outer surface side.

Claims (12)

1. A connector, comprising:

a first housing including a resiliently deformable lock arm;

a lock hole formed in the lock arm;

a second housing connectable to and separable from the first housing;

a lock projection formed on the second housing and configured to lock the first housing and the second housing in a connected state by being locked to the lock hole;

an operating portion formed on the lock arm and capable of being pressed for disengaging the lock hole from the lock projection and thereby performing an unlocking operation;

a wire cover to be attached to the first housing and configured to turn a wire drawn out from the first housing;

an opening formed in the wire cover and configured to expose the operating portion; and

a covering portion formed on the wire cover and configured to cover a locking part of the lock hole and the lock projection from an outer surface side.

2. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the opening is open to outside of the wire cover on an outer edge part of the wire cover, and the covering portion couples two areas adjacent to an opening end of the opening.

3. The connector of claim 1 , comprising an intrusion restricting portion formed on the wire cover and accommodated in an area not interfering with the lock projection.

4. The connector of claim 3 , wherein the intrusion restricting portion extends from the covering portion.
