A frame (70) is formed with a slider accommodating space (75) and a housing accommodating space (74) that are partitioned by inner walls (78). A slider (50) is formed with cam grooves (51) to face the housing accommodating space ( 74), and a male housing (30) is pulled to a connection position by a
A frame (70) is formed with a slider accommodating space (75) and a housing accommodating space (74) that are partitioned by inner walls (78). A slider (50) is formed with cam grooves (51) to face the housing accommodating space ( 74), and a male housing (30) is pulled to a connection position by a movement of the slider (50) in a direction substantially normal to a connecting direction with cam pins (31) of the male housing (30) engaged with the cam grooves (51). The inner walls (78) have thinned portions (79) reducing the thickness of the inner walls (78). Surrounding walls (19 ) of receptacles (13) of auxiliary housings (11) enter the thinned portions (19) to arrange the surrounding walls (19) in proximity to main portions (53) of the slider (50).

What is claimed is: 1. A connector, comprising: a frame having a housing accommodating space, a movable member accommodating space extending in a transverse direction on the frame and an inner wall between the housing accommodating space and the movable member accommodating space, the inner wall being formed with at least one groove extending in the transverse direction; a movable member mounted movably in the movable member accommodating space for movement substantially in the transverse direction; a first housing mounted in the housing accommodating space of the frame, the first housing having an outer wall configured for entering the groove and substantially contacting the movable member; and a second housing engaging the movable member in the movable member accommodating space so that the second housing is connectable with the first housing in response to movement of the movable member in the movable member accommodating space. 2. The connector of claim 1, wherein the movable member has at least one cam substantially facing the housing accommodating space, the second housing having at least one mating cam configured for engaging the cam of the movable member, connection of the second housing with the first housing being assisted by movement of the movable member at an angle to a connecting direction of the housings. 3. The connector of claim 2, wherein the movable member is a slider. 4. The connector of claim 1, wherein the groove penetrates the inner wall, the outer wall of the first housing and the inner wall being substantially flush with each other at surfaces defining the movable member accommodating space. 5. The connector of claim 1, wherein the first housing has a receptacle for receiving the second housing. 6. The connector of claim 5, wherein the receptacle has at least one surrounding wall defining an outer wall of the first housing. 7. The connector of claim 6, wherein the surrounding wall of the receptacle and the inner wall of the frame are substantially flush with each other at surfaces defining the housing accommodating space. 8. The connector of claim 1, wherein the first housing comprises at least two auxiliary housings that are insertable into the frame. 9. The connector of claim 8, wherein at least one guide is provided on each of the auxiliary housings and extends substantially along an inserting direction of the auxiliary housings into the frame, the guide being engageable with at least one guidable portion in the frame. 10. The connector of claim 9, wherein the at least one guide comprises guides on each of the auxiliary housings, and wherein the auxiliary housing are progressively wider in accordance with an insertion order of the auxiliary housings into the frame. 11. The connector of claim 10, wherein the guidable portions are grooves that are progressively wider in accordance with an insertion order of the auxiliary housings into the frame. 12. A connector, comprising: a frame having opposite front and rear ends and opposite first and second sides, a housing accommodating space open into the first side of the frame, a slider accommodating space open into the second side of the frame and an inner wall between the housing accommodating space and the slider accommodating space, the inner wall being formed with at least one opening extending from the first side towards the second side and providing communication between the housing accommodating space and the slider accommodating space; a slider mounted movably in the slider accommodating space; a first housing mounted in the housing accommodating space of the frame, the first housing having an outer wall configured for entering the opening in the inner wall of the frame; and a second housing configured for entering the front end of the frame and contacting the slider in the slider accommodating space, the second housing being connectable with the first housing in response to movement of the slider in the slider accommodating space. 13. The connector of claim 12, wherein the slider has at least one cam substantially facing the housing accommodating space the second housing having at least one mating cam configured for engaging the cam of the slider, connection of the second housing with the first housing being assisted by movement of the slider at an angle to a connecting direction of the housings. 14. The connector of claim 13, wherein the outer wall of the first housing and the inner wall are substantially flush with each other at surfaces defining the slider accommodating space. 15. The connector of claim 14, wherein the first housing has a receptacle for receiving the second housing. 16. The connector of claim 15, wherein the receptacle has at least one surrounding wall defining an outer wall of the first housing. 17. The connector of claim 16, wherein the surrounding wall of the receptacle and the inner wall of the frame are substantially flush with each other at surfaces defining the housing accommodating space. 18. The connector of claim 17, wherein the first housing comprises at least two auxiliary housings that are insertable into the frame.
