<p>To mount a connector without any shake regardless of the thickness of a panel. A housing 1 is held in its oblique position and a fixed first lock groove 10 at the upper side of the housing 1 is engaged with an upper side edge of a mount hole 5 formed in a panel. Thereafter, the housing 1 is rotated to its horizontal position, and a movable second lock groove 16 at the lower side of the housing 1 is engaged with a lower side edge of the mount hole 5 while an elastic portion 12 is elastically deformed. In this way, the housing 1 is mounted on the panel. At the respective lock grooves 10, 16, elastic pushing portions 18, 20 obliquely project from a jaw portion 7 which forms one side surface of each of the lock grooves 10, 16. The elastic pushing portions 18, 20 elastically hold the upper and lower edges of the mount hole 5 in cooperation with projections 8 and a projected portion 15 of an elastic portion 12 by undergoing a small degree of elastic deformation in the case of a thinner panel P2 while undergoing a large degree of elastic deformation in the case of a thicker panel P1, i.e. by changing a degree of elastic deformation according to the thickness of the panel. <IMAGE></p> |
