で移動させたことの確認が一層困難であった。By the way, in order to surely perform the connecting work with the mating connector, it is necessary for the worker to quickly slide the cam member to the completion position during the connecting work. It is preferable to be able to confirm. However, the conventional connector with a cam member is
It was difficult for the operator to confirm whether or not the cam member was slid to the completion position. Therefore, it is difficult to perform the connecting work, and there is a high possibility that the connecting work is ended without sliding the cam member to the completion position. In particular, depending on the technical field, there is a case where both connectors are connected in a groping state, and in such a case, it is more difficult to confirm that the cam member has been moved to the completion position.

The action of the contact portion 50 of the 12 will be described. When the cam member 30 is slid from the reference position shown in FIG. 2 in the B direction in the figure,
The inclined surface 42a of the convex portion 42 of the elastic piece 40 is the tip of the contact portion 50.
Contact 56. When the cam member 30 is further slid, the elastic piece 40 slides the slanted surface 42a of the convex portion 42 onto the tip portion 56 of the contact portion 50, and at this time, the slanted surface 42a of the convex portion 42 contacts the tip portion of the contact portion 50. It is elastically deformed downward by the force received from 56, and the convex portion 42 rides on the second surface 55. The convex portion 42 is the second
When the cam member 30 is further slid after riding on the surface 55, the convex portion 42 approaches the hole 54 of the contact portion 50 while slidingly contacting the second surface 55. Then, when the cam member 30 moves to the completion position shown in FIG.
Ride over the second surface 55 and are received in the hole 54 of the abutting portion 50 and engage with it. At the time of this engagement, the elastic piece 40 elastically deformed downward is elastically restored to bring the first surface 41 into contact with the second surface 55 of the contact portion 50.

る。A contact noise is generated when the first surface 41 and the second surface 55 are contacted with each other, and the operator moves the cam member 30 to the completion position due to the contact noise. As a result, it is possible to quickly and surely confirm that the connector 10 and the mating connector 20 are completely connected. The cam member 30 that has moved to the completion position is an elastic piece.
By pressing the ridge portion 43 of the elastic member 40 downward to bend the elastic piece 40 downward, and disengaging the convex portion 42 of the elastic piece 40 and the hole portion 54 of the abutting portion 50, the elastic piece 40 is moved in the A direction. It can be slid back to the ready position, and this movement allows the connectors 10 and 20 in the completely fitted state to be removed.
