Therefore, when the twisting force including the pulling force in the direction of separation from the connector housing 11 (the direction of the arrow Y in FIG. 2) is applied to the cover 21, the regulating rib 16 is not detached from the regulating groove 26. therefore, The retention of the cover against the twisting force can be increased.

Further, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the connector housing 1 has the guide ribs 17, which are extended side by side with the regulation ribs 16 in the third direction of the regulation ribs 16, and protrude from the connector housing 11 in the second direction. Assume. The cover 21 has a guide groove 27 into which a guide rib 17 having a sectional shape different from that of the cross-sectional shape of the regulation rib 16 is inserted. Therefore, when the regulation rib 16 is inserted into the guide groove 27, it cannot be inserted because of the difference in cross-sectional shape of each other. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the cover 21 from being fitted in the wrong position.

Although the connector of the cover of the present invention has been described above based on the embodiment of the drawings, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the configuration of each portion may be replaced with any configuration having the same function.

For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the case where the regulation rib 16 is provided in the connector housing 11 and the regulation groove 26 is provided in the cover 21 is described, but the regulation rib 16 may be provided on the cover. 21, and the regulation groove 26 is disposed in the connector housing 11.

Further, for example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the case where the guide rib 17 is provided in the connector housing 11 and the guide groove 27 is provided in the cover 21 is explained, but the guide rib 17 may be provided at The cover 21 is provided, and the guide groove 27 is provided in the connector housing 11.
