Abstract
A connector set includes: a first connector having a first housing; a second connector having a second housing; and a slide member slidably held in one of the housing. An engaging part is formed on the slide member, the engaging part being locked to a locked part formed on the other housing to restrict the sliding of the slide member to the first position when the slide member is slid to the second position. The locked part is formed on the housing main body of the other housing.

A connector set comprising:
- a first connector having
- a first housing, and
- a first terminal held in the first housing;
- a second connector having
- a second housing to be fitted to the first housing, and
- a second terminal held in the second housing and to come in conduction with the first terminal in a state where the first housing and the second housing are fitted together;
- and
- a slide held in one housing out of the first housing and the second housing to be slidable between a first position and a second position, the slide comprising:
- a main body with a handle formed thereon;
- an upper arm provided continuously on an upper part of the main body to be capable of elastically deforming, in a state where the slide is disposed such that the handle is located on an upper side;
- and
- a lower arm provided continuously on a lower part of the main body to be capable of elastically deforming, in the state where the slide is disposed such that the handle is located on the upper side,
- wherein
- the first housing includes:
- a first housing main body holding the first terminal;
- and
- a lever provided continuously on the first housing main body and to move relative to the first housing main body,
- the second housing includes:
- a second housing main body holding the second terminal;
- and
- a second housing side engaging part to be engaged with the lever in the state where the first housing and the second housing are fitted together and to maintain the fitting between the first housing and the second housing, wherein
- a slide side engaging part is formed on the upper arm of the slide, the slide side engaging part being locked to a lock formed on the other housing out of the first housing and the second housing to restrict the sliding of the slide to the first position when the slide is slid to the second position, and
- the lock is formed on the housing main body of the other housing out of the first housing and the second housing.

A connector comprising:
- a housing configured to be fitted to a counterpart housing;
- a terminal configured to be held in the housing and to conductively connect with a counterpart terminal in a state where the housing and the counterpart housing are fitted together;
- and
- a slide held in the housing and being slidable between a first position and a second position, the slide comprising:
- a main body with a handle formed thereon;
- an upper arm provided continuously on an upper part of the main body to be capable of elastically deforming, in a state where the slide is disposed such that the handle is located on an upper side;
- and
- a lower arm provided continuously on a lower part of the main body to be capable of elastically deforming, in the state where the slide is disposed such that the handle is located on the upper side,
- wherein
- the housing includes:
- a housing main body holding the terminal;
- and
- a lever provided continuously on the housing main body and to move relative to the housing main body, wherein
- an engaging part is formed on the upper arm of the slide, the engaging part being locked to a lock formed on a counterpart housing main body of the counterpart housing to restrict the sliding of the slide to the first position when the slide is slid to the second position.
