PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrical connector that can surely maintain the engagement between connectors and easily release the engagement between connectors.SOLUTION: A plug connector has lock portions 44 as a pair of elastic flat plates which are arranged on a pair of confronting wall portions of a plug housing portion and extend to a board KB connected to a plug contact portion along an outer wall 41a while spaced from the outer wall 41a of the wall portion, parts of the pair of elastic flat plates being disposed in an internal area, and lock release operation portions 45 as a pair of flat plates connected to one ends of the lock portions 44 which are exposed to the outside when the housings are fitted to each other and extend to the outside of the board Kb so that the end portions 45a are located at the outside of the end face of the flexible board Kb. When the interval between the end portions 45a is narrowed, the fitting between a through hole 26d and a projection 44a is released by approaching the lock portion 44 to the outer wall 41a.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】コネクタ同士の嵌合を確実に維持できる上に、コネクタ同士の嵌合の解除が容易な電気コネクタを提供する。【解決手段】プラグコネクタは、プラグ用ハウジング部の対向する一対の壁部のそれぞれに配置され、その壁部の外壁４１ａに対して隙間を空けた状態で外壁４１ａに沿うようにして、プラグ用コンタクト部が接続されている基板Ｋｂに向かって延びた、内部領域に一部が配置される一対の弾性平板であり、貫通孔２６ｄとの係合を実現する突起４４ａが形成されているロック部４４と、ハウジング同士の嵌合時に外部に露出するロック部４４のそれぞれの一端に接続され、フレキシブル基板Ｋｂの端面よりも外側に端部４５ａが位置するように、基板Ｋｂの外側に向かって延びた一対の平板であり、端部４５ａ同士の間隔が狭められると、ロック部４４を外壁４１ａに近づけることで、貫通孔２６ｄと突起４４ａとの係合を解除するロック解除操作部４５と、を備える。【選択図】図８
