Abstract: A compact lock connector, by which a connector housing is prevented from becoming large due to a lock-releasing mechanism, is provided. The lock connector includes: one connector housing having a flexible locking arm; and an opposite connector housing having a locking part that engages with the locking arm, wherein a slider for releasing a lock is mounted to the one connector housing and the slider has a lock-releasing part that bends the locking arm in a lock-releasing direction when the slider moves in a connector-separating direction.

Abstract: A waterproof connector, which has a lock-releasing function without increasing the size of a connector housing thereof and has a relatively simple structure, and has a low cost without increasing the number of parts thereof, is provided. The waterproof connector includes: a waterproof sealing member mounted in a connector housing of the waterproof connector; a sealing holder for pressing the waterproof sealing member into the connector housing; and a slider slidably mounted to the connector housing, the slider including a lock-releasing part for releasing a lock between the connector housing and an opposite connector housing, wherein the sealing holder and the slider are connected integrally with each other through a breakable part and the breakable part is broken when the sealing holder is pressed.

Abstract: An engagement portion 24 of a locking member 5, which is inserted through a locking member insertion hole 10 into a connector housing 2, is engaged with the connector housing 2. Additionally, a connector terminal 4 accommodated in a connector housing 2 is locked with the locking member 5. The locking member 5 includes a pair of fitting pieces 12, each of which is provided with said engagement portion 24 and supported resiliently. An engagement release tool 27 is inserted into the connector housing 2 through an engagement release hole 25 provided on the connector housing 2. Then, the engagement release tool 27 deflects the fitting piece 12 to release an engagement of the engagement portion 24 of the fitting piece 12 with the connector housing 2.
