Original Abstract Submitted

A connector includes a housing, an accommodating member and a detecting member. The accommodating member includes a stopper portion. The detecting member includes an arm portion. The detecting member is restricted from moving forward while being arranged at a standby position by a tip part of the arm portion butting against the stopper portion from behind. The tip part of the arm portion is pushed by the housing to move in a releasing direction, whereby the detecting member is allowed to move from the standby position to the detection position, in the process of properly fitting the housing into the accommodating member. The detecting member further includes a pressing portion. The detecting member is so arranged that the tip part of the arm portion is inclined in a direction opposite to the releasing direction when the pressing portion is pressed with the detecting member arranged at the standby position.
