Patent attributes
Provided is a connector including a housing. The housing has a terminal array wall, an insertion/detachment direction restriction portion provided in an area defined by the terminal array wall and contacts the partner connector to set a maximum depth position of the partner connector upon fitting, and an inclination restriction portion. The inclination restriction portion is, at a position outside the area defined by the terminal array wall, positioned with a predetermined clearance from a corresponding portion of the partner connector at the maximum depth position upon fitting in a connector insertion/detachment direction. Upon detachment of the partner connector, when the partner connector is inclined such that a one-end-side portion of the partner connector is lifted, the other-end-side portion of the partner connector contacts the inclination restriction portion in the connector insertion/detachment direction to restrict inclination of the partner connector with an angle greater than a predetermined angle.
