Abstract:
    An object of the present invention is to miniaturize a connector as a whole positively utilizing a mold removal space. A connector is provided with a first housing 1, a second housing 2 having a receptacle 4 into which the first housing 1 is fittable, and a slider 3 having a cam groove 24 and movably mountable into the first housing 1 in directions substantially normal to connecting directions of the two housings 1, 2. A cam functioning portion 8 movable along a cam groove 24 projects from the inner circumferential surface of the receptacle 4, a mold removal hole 5A used to mold the cam functioning portion 8 is formed in a back wall 5 of the receptacle 4, and a space between the cam functioning portion 8 and the mold removal hole 5A serves as a mold removal space S. The slider 3 includes a resiliently deformable forward-movement preventing portion 25, which is moved in sliding contact with the inner surface of a slider insertion hole 11 while being resiliently deformed during a connecting operation of the two housings 1, 2, and is resiliently restored in the mold removal space S when the two housings 1, 2 are properly connected.
