Abstract
In a connector, a first housing is provided with a projection, and a second housing is provided with a retainer engaged with the projection. An engagement detector is held in the second housing so as to slidable between a first position and a second position. The retainer retains the engagement detector at the first position such that the engagement detector is slidable to the second position only when the projection and the retainer are completely engaged with each other at a complete engagement position. The engagement detector locks the retainer at the complete engagement position when the engagement detector is placed in the second position.
