Further, the front surface of the protrusion 44 is a facing surface 48 that is disposed to face the locking surface 15 of the lock portion 52 when the fitting detection member 30 is in the standby position. The facing surface 48 is an upright surface that is substantially orthogonal to the moving direction (front-rear direction) of the fitting detection member 30.

  A front contact portion 49 of the elastic arm portion 32 is formed as a contact portion 49 that enters the recess 16 and contacts the lock protrusion 13 from below when the fitting detection member 30 is in the standby position. When the fitting detection member 30 is in the standby position, the contact portion 49 elastically contacts the lock protrusion 13 from below, and the elastic arm portion 32 is slightly bent and deformed. Thereby, the lapping margin between the protrusion 44 and the lock 52 is set to a predetermined value.

Next, an example of the fitting operation of the fitting detection member 30 and the fitting operation with the mating connector 50 according to the present embodiment will be described.
First, the fitting detection member 30 is mounted on the housing 10. The elastic arm portion 32 of the fitting detection member 30 is inserted below the release operation portion 17 of the lock arm 12, the stopper 24 is inserted into the guide groove 22, and the fitting detection member 30 is inserted into the mounting portion 18 from behind. Push in. Then, the pair of elastic locking pieces 42 come into contact with the forward stopper 28 and the retaining projection 23 is latched with the retaining recess 35, so that the fitting detection member 30 is restricted from moving in the front-rear direction. Further, the contact portion 49 of the elastic arm portion 32 enters the recess 16 and is in a state of elastically contacting the lock protrusion 13 from below. Thus, the operation of mounting the fitting detection member 30 at the standby position is completed.

Next, the connector C is fitted to the mating connector 50.
The housing 10 is fitted to the hood portion 51 of the mating connector 50. In this fitting process, as shown in FIG. 12, the lock protrusion 13 of the lock arm 12 is pushed by the lock portion 52 provided on the mating connector 50, and the lock arm 12 is elastically bent downward. At this time, the abutting portion 49 that abuts on the lower surface side of the lock protrusion 13 is pressed downward by the lock protrusion 13, whereby the elastic arm portion 32 is elastically bent downward.

  At this time, although both the connectors C and 50 are in the half-fitted state that has not yet reached the normal fitting, the operator misunderstands that the normal fitting has been reached and tries to move the fitting detection member 30. There is a case. However, the protrusion 44 abuts against the lock protrusion 13 to prevent the fitting detection member 30 from moving forward. Thereby, the operator can know that both connectors C and 50 are in a half-fitted state.

  Then, when the fitting operation of both the connectors C and 50 is continued, as shown in FIG. 13, the lock portion 52 of the mating connector 50 gets over the lock protrusion 13 of the lock arm 12, and the lock arm 12 is elastically restored upward. The lock portion 52 and the lock protrusion 13 are locked in the front-rear direction, and both the connectors C and 50 are locked in the normal fitting state.

  In addition, the lock portion 52 of the mating connector 50 that has passed over the lock protrusion 13 of the lock arm 12 is positioned above the protrusion portion 44 of the elastic arm portion 32 and presses the protrusion portion 44 downward. Hold in an elastically bent state. As a result, the positions of the lock projection 13 displaced upward and the projection 44 of the elastic arm portion 32 are shifted in the vertical direction, and the locked state between the lock arm 12 and the elastic arm portion 32 is released.

  Thus, after both the connectors C and 50 are properly fitted, the fitting detection member 30 is moved to the detection position as shown in FIG. At this time, the rear surface of the operation part 31 of the fitting detection member 30 may be pushed forward, and when the electric wire W is in the way, it is fitted with a finger on the anti-slip part 41 provided on the upper surface of the operation part 31. The joint detection member 30 may be pressed forward.

  When a forward pushing force is applied to the fitting detection member 30, the elastic locking piece 42 elastically bends inward and climbs over the protruding portion 26 of the stopper 24, and then elastically returns to be locked to the reverse stopper 27 from the front. It will be in the state. Further, the protruding portion 44 of the elastic arm portion 32 enters the recess 16 and is disposed so as to face the back surface of the recess 16 in the front-rear direction. As a result, the fitting detection member 30 is restricted from moving in the front-rear direction and is kept at the detection position.

Note that the elastic arm portion 32 is held in a state where the elastic arm portion 32 is slightly bent due to the protrusion 44 of the elastic arm portion 32 coming into contact with the lock protrusion 13 of the lock arm 12 from below. As a result, the bending operation of the lock arm 12 is restricted, so that the fitting state of both the connectors C and 50 is firmly held.
Thus, the operation for fitting the connector C to the mating connector 50 is completed.

  By the way, when releasing both the connectors C and 50 locked in the normal fitting state, a finger or the like is applied to the anti-slip portion 41 to pull the fitting detecting member 30 backward. Then, the elastic locking piece 42 is elastically bent, the locked state with the reverse stopper 27 is released, and the fitting detection member 30 is pulled back to the standby position. Thereafter, a finger or a jig is applied to the upper surface of the release operation unit 17 of the lock arm 12, and the release operation unit 17 is pushed downward (in the lock release direction). Then, the lock arm 12 is elastically bent downward, the lock protrusion 13 is disengaged from the lock portion 52, and the locked state between the lock arm 12 and the lock portion 52 is released. Then, the connector C is separated from the other connector 50 by pulling the connector C away from the mating connector 50 while keeping the release operation portion 17 depressed.

Next, operations and effects of the embodiment configured as described above will be described.
The connector C in this embodiment is in a standby state before or half-fitted between the housing 10 having a plurality of cavities 11 into which the terminal fittings T connected to the terminal portions of the electric wires W are inserted from the rear and the mating connector 50.

A mounting portion 18 to which the fitting detection member 30 is attached is provided between the adjacent cavities 11 in the housing 10, and the fitting detection member 30 is provided with an operation portion 31 for operating the movement, and a cavity. 11 is provided with a non-slip portion 41 that protrudes in a direction that intersects the direction in which the 11 are arranged.

  According to this configuration, since the fitting detection member 30 can be moved at a position shifted in the direction intersecting with the arrangement direction of the cavities 11, the electric wire W drawn rearward from the rear surface of the housing 10 is not obstructed. The fitting detection member 30 can be easily moved.

  Further, when the fitting detection member 30 is in the standby position, the anti-slip portion 41 is located in front of the rear surface of the housing 10. According to this configuration, even if the electric wire W is bent upward, the fitting detection member 30 can be easily moved without being obstructed by the electric wire W.

  In addition, the housing 10 is elastically bent and climbs over the lock portion 52 provided on the mating connector 50, and then is elastically restored and locked to the lock portion 52 to lock the mating connector 50 in a properly fitted state. The lock arm 12 is provided, and a stopper 24 for restricting the movement of the fitting detection member 30 is provided on the side opposite to the bending direction of the lock arm 12 to prevent deformation of the locking arm 12 to the opposite side. It has a function to prevent reversal. According to this configuration, in a state in which the fitting detection member 30 is removed, the stopper 24 that restricts the movement of the fitting detection member 30 functions as an inversion preventing portion of the lock arm 12. It is also advantageous when used. In addition, since the external shape of the part arrange | positioned in the food | hood part 51 of the other party connector 50 is the same as the connector C when the fitting detection member 30 is mounted | worn with the case where it does not mount | wear, it mounts the fitting detection member 30 It is not necessary to change the shape of the mating connector 50 depending on whether or not it is attached.

  A guide wall 22 that guides the movement of the fitting detection member 30 is provided so as to protrude rearward from the rear surface of the housing 10 so as to surround the movement path of the fitting detection member 30. According to this configuration, since the fitting detection member 30 moves inside the guide wall 22, it is possible to more reliably prevent the electric wire W from obstructing the movement of the fitting detection member 30.
