    摘要: A connector comprises a movable member and an operating member and is mateable with a mating connector. The movable member is movable between a front position and a rear position of a movement range. The operating member is movable between a front position and a rear position of an operation range and is movable relative to the movable member. The mated state of the connector is locked when the operating member is positioned at the front position of the operation range and when the movable member is positioned at the front position of the movement range. The mated state is unlocked when the operating member is positioned rearward of the front position of the operation range by a predetermined distance and when the movable member is positioned at the front position of the movement range.

    摘要: A connector includes a connector main, a male screw member and a screw holding member. The connector main selectively connectable with a mating connector having a female screw portion and another mating connector having no female screw portion in a predetermined direction. The screw holding member holds the male screw member. The screw holding member has a male screw seat which is brought into contact with a female screw seat when the male screw member is connected with the female screw portion. The screw holding member is attached to the connector main and relatively moveable with respect to the connector main in the predetermined direction.
