1. A connector in an electric vehicle comprising:
- an outer housing;
a terminal assembly including a terminal housing slidably mounted in the outer housing to be movable forward or backward;
a handle mounted to the outer housing for receiving a cable electrically connected to the terminal assembly therein;
a slider connected to the terminal assembly and slidably mounted in the outer housing to be movable forward or backward,a lever mounted to the outer housing to be rotatable in a first direction or a second direction for making the slider to move forward or backward;
a first locking unit for preventing the slider from moving backward when the slider is moved forward;
a second locking unit for securing the slider in response to an electric, signal selectively when the slider is moved forward; and
an unlocking button for separating the first locking unit from the slider by pressing the first locking unit.
