Original Abstract Submitted

A connector includes a housing and a detection member. The housing can be engaged with a mating housing. The detection member is movably mounted to the housing, and detects an engagement state of the mating housing and the housing by moving between a temporary locking position and a final locking position. The housing is provided with a restrained portion. The detection member is provided with a restraining portion that is engaged with the restrained portion in the final locking position of the detection member to restrain a movement to the temporary locking position of the detection member.
