A connector includes a connector body, terminals installed in the connector body, and lock devices fit to the connector body. The connector body includes mating guide parts that are formed on both ends of the connector body in a longitudinal direction and are fit in mating-connector-side mating guide parts formed on both ends of a mating connector body of a mating connector in the longitudinal direction. The lock devices include sliders attached to the mating guide parts to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the connector body. The sliders each include a pair of right and left locking protrusions. When the connector body is mated with the mating connector body, the locking protrusions engage with mating reinforcement brackets installed on the mating connector body.
