CONNECTOR
First Claim
1. A connector comprising:
- a first housing;
a second housing comprising a protrusion catch, a slide channel, and a rail formed as a groove along the slide channel, the second housing being to be engaged with the first housing; and
a sliding member comprising a support arm to be engaged with the rail upon engagement with the groove, and a protrusion to latch the protrusion catch, the sliding member being placed in the slide channel,wherein;
the slide channel is formed with a slide surface extended along the rail;
the support arm comprises a first surface facing the slide surface, and a second surface formed at a back side of the first surface, and inclined relative to the slide surface;
the groove is formed as a recess that includes a bottom surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface;
the second side surface faces the second surface of the support arm, and is formed at an inclination angle corresponding to an inclination angle of the second surface; and
when the first housing and the second housing are engaged with each other, the first housing depresses the protrusion latching the protrusion catch of the second housing to cancel a latching between the protrusion catch and the protrusion, enabling the sliding member to be slidable.

Abstract
A connector includes an outer housing, an inner housing provided with an engagement latch, a slide channel, and rails each being a groove, and a sliding member provided with support arms engaged with the respective rails, and a protrusion to latch the engagement latch. The slide channel is formed with a slide surface extending along the rail. The support arms each include a lower surface facing the slide surface, and an upper surface inclined relative to the slide surface. The groove forming the rail is formed as a recess including a bottom surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface. The second side surface faces the upper surface of the support arm, and is formed at an inclination angle corresponding to that of the upper surface.
