1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a connector which allows housings holding terminals to be fitted to each other so that the terminals are connected to each other.
2. Description of the Related Art
In a vehicle such as a motor vehicle, a connector is used which electrically connects a terminal connected to a plurality of electric wires of a wire harness to a mating component. The connector of this kind includes, for instance, a connector housing formed so as to be fitted to a mating housing which holds a mating terminal as a connection mate and one or a plurality of connector terminals which are held by the connector housing to come into contact with the mating terminal. In the connector housing, a locking mechanism which locks the mating housing is provided. In a state where the housings are locked with each other by the locking mechanism, the connector terminals are electrically connected to each other (see JP-A-2003-59571).
