1. A connector, comprising:
a first housing; and
a second housing to be connected to the first housing,
wherein:
the first housing includes a housing body and a movable housing relatively displaceable between an initial position and a connection position with respect to the housing body,
the first housing includes an initial position holding portion for restricting a relative displacement of the movable housing at the initial position in a direction away from the second housing and a connection position holding portion for restricting a relative displacement of the movable housing at the connection position in the direction away from the second housing,
a facing interval between the movable housing and the second housing is narrower than that between the housing body and the second housing with the movable housing located at the initial position,
the facing interval between the movable housing and the second housing is equal to that between the housing body and the second housing with the movable housing located at the connection position, and
the second housing is provided with a holding releasing portion for releasing holding by the initial position holding portion when the movable housing reaches a position just before a proper connection position in a connection process to the first housing.
