An electric connector includes a first connector, and a second connector, wherein the first connector includes a first housing, a plurality of first contacts, and first lock metal fittings, the second connector includes a second housing, a plurality of second contacts, and a second lock metal fitting, an electric wires are inserted into the second connector in a direction parallel to a circuit board surface, and in a direction perpendicular to an arranging direction of the second contacts, and the second lock metal fitting includes lock engaging portions provided at both ends of the arranging direction of the second contacts of the second housing, and a coupling portion coupling the lock engaging portions at least at a side of a removing direction of the second connector of the electric wires at an insertion side of the electric wires of the second housing.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electric connector comprising: a first connector mounted on a circuit board surface; and a second connector connected to electric wires, wherein the first connector includes a first housing including an insertion portion into which the second connector is inserted from a direction perpendicular to the circuit board surface, a plurality of first contacts arranged in the insertion portion, and first lock metal fittings provided at both ends of an arranging direction of the first contacts of the first housing, having elasticity, and preventing removal of the second connector, the second connector includes a second housing inserted into the insertion portion of the first connector, a plurality of second contacts connected to the plurality of first contacts, and a second lock metal fitting engaged with the first lock metal fittings, the electric wires are inserted into the second connector in a direction parallel to the circuit board surface, and in a direction perpendicular to an arranging direction of the second contacts, and the second lock metal fitting includes lock engaging portions provided at both ends of the arranging direction of the second contacts of the second housing, and a coupling portion coupling the lock engaging portions at a side of the second housing in which the electric wires are inserted. 2. The electric connector according to claim 1 , wherein the coupling portion includes openings into which the electric wires are inserted. 3. The electric connector according to claim 2 , wherein the second lock metal fitting is insert-molded into the second housing. 4. The electric connector according to claim 1 , wherein the second lock metal fitting is insert-molded into the second housing.
