A slider (62) slidable in a direction in which a male connector (4) is fitted in a female connector (5) and a direction in which the male connector (4) is separated from the female connector (5) is mounted on the female connector (5). When an operation of moving the slider (62) rearward is performed, an unlocking projected portion (66) slides along an unlocking guide surface (78) of the slider (62). As a result, a locking arm (63) is displaced in an unlocking direction. At this time, a stopping surface (74) of a spring-accommodating portion (67) contacts the slider (62). As a result, the slider (62) and a female connector housing (41) are held as a unit. Thereafter by performing the operation of moving the slider (62) rearward, the male connector (4) and the female connector (5) can be separated from each other.
