き抜きできないようになる。In the fitted state after the connector and the mating connector have been mated, the engaging contact portion and the mating engaging portion are engaged in the disengagement direction, so that the mating connector is prevented from moving in the disengagement direction. It At this time, the first portion is formed between the contact portion and the engaging contact portion.
Since the mating contact portion and the second mating contact portion are sandwiched by the elastic force, and the mating engaging portion and the engaging contact portion engage in the disengagement direction, the mating connector is locked so that it cannot be easily pulled out from the connector. be able to. In particular, the larger the number of contacts and the number of mating contacts, the stronger the elastic force, and the mating connector cannot be easily pulled out from the connector.

Since the engaging contact portions are brought into contact with each other in the final fitted state, the first and second contact portions are slightly displaced in the elastic deformation direction, and the mating contact surfaces are formed on the engaging contact portions of the second contact portions. Contact,
In the final connection state, the elastic deformation acts so as to decrease.
