- and
- a male housing, the male housing being inserted into the female housing;
- wherein:
- the male housing comprises:
- a main body that holds one or a plurality of terminals;
- and
- a flexible brace that extends in insertion direction of the male housing in a position separated from the main body and is connected to the main body at a front side and a rear side of the insertion direction and has a latching block that fits into a latching hole formed on the side of the female housing, formed on a side away from the main body of a midway part, where the midway part can be flexibly deformed so as to be close to the main body;
- and
- with the flexible brace, the elastic recovery force in effect in the latching block by the front side brace part positioned at the front side in the insertion direction from the latching block is smaller than the elastic recovery force in effect in the latching block by the rear side brace part positioned at the rear side in the insertion direction from the latching block.
