CONNECTOR AND CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY

The present invention can increase the fastening strength by a simple structure without increasing the size, so that even when an unexpected external force is applied, it is possible to secure the holding of the butt connector without releasing the fitting. A connector is proposed that includes a cover, a terminal (51) mounted in the housing, and a latching member (81). The top plate portion (72)of the cover includes a cantilever-shaped elastic piece portion formed by cutting a part of the top plate portion (72). The holding member (81) includes a body portion, a joint portion (83) connectedto the front end of the body portion, and an operation portion connected to the rear end of the body portion and capable of coming into contact with the free end portion of the elastic piece portion,and the holding member is swingably attached to the top plate portion (7nh2). 本发明为了在不会使尺寸大型化的情况下通过简单的结构增加扣持强度，从而即使意外的外力施加时，也能确保维持与对接连接器的扣持，而不会解除嵌合，从而提出一种连接器，其包括罩体、安装于所述罩体内的端子(51)以及扣持部件(81)。所述罩体的顶板部(72)包括通过切出顶板部(72)的一部分而形成的悬臂状的弹
