Connector

A connector, comprising:

• a connector body including a receptacle;
• a terminal fitting including a tab projecting into the receptacle;
• and
• a moving plate movable between a partial locking position and a connection position backward of the partial locking position with the moving plate inserted in the receptacle and the tab positioned;
• the moving plate including a partial locking portion configured to restrict a movement of the moving plate to the connection position by interfering with an interfering portion of the connector body at the partial locking position and move over the interfering portion when the moving plate returns from the connection position to the partial locking portion, and a resilient locking piece configured to be locked to a receiving portion of a mating connector, allow a movement from the connection position to the partial locking position by being kept locked to the receiving portion in the process of separating the mating connector from the receptacle and release locking to the receiving portion by being deflected and deformed when the mating connector is completely separated from the receptacle;
• and
• the connector body having a restricting surface configured to restrict the deflection of the resilient locking piece until a riding amount of the partial locking portion on the interfering portion exhibits a maximum value when the moving plate returns from the connection position to the partial locking position.
