  • Publication number: 20200067232
    Abstract: A connector includes: an outer housing including an arm that protrudes from a first wall portion to a space portion surrounded by a housing main unit; an inner housing inside the housing main unit; and a detection member supported between the first wall portion and the inner housing slidably. The housing main unit has an opening portion in which a counterpart housing having a protrusion is inserted. The arm includes an arm main unit with flexibility extending toward the opening portion and a lock tab protruding from the arm main unit.
