1. A panel fixing type connector device comprising:
a first connector housing which is mounted in a mounting hole of a panel from one side in a direction perpendicular to the panel; and a second connector housing which is fitted to the first connector housing with the panel interposed therebetween through the mounting hole from the other side in the direction perpendicular to the panel, wherein, the first connector housing is provided with temporary locking arms which are bent inward from initial positions as an outer inclined surface of the arm comes into sliding contact with a peripheral edge of the mounting hole when the first connector housing is inserted into the mounting hole of the panel from the one side, return to the initial positions from the bent positions when the first connector housing is further inserted to a predetermined position so as to allow the locking portion to be locked to the peripheral edge of the mounting hole, and temporarily lock the first connector housing to the mounting hole of the panel in a state of impeding movement of the first connector housing toward the one side, the second connector housing is provided with
complete fixing portions which are locked to the peripheral edge of the mounting hole of the panel to completely fix the second connector housing to the panel, andtemporary locking releasing portions which, when the second connector housing is fitted to the first connector housing in a state where the temporary locking arm is locked to the mounting hole of the panel, allow the temporary locking arms to be bent inward due to the fitting operation and thus release the locking of the temporary locking arms to the mounting hole of the panel, and the first connector housing and the second connector housing are further provided with,
movement restricting and allowing portions which, when the second connector housing is fitted to the first connector housing in a state where the temporary locking arm is locked to the mounting hole of the panel, restrict the movement of the first connector housing relative to the panel until the first connector housing and the second connector housing are completely fitted to each other, and in a state where the first connector housing and the second connector housing are completely fitted to each other, allow the movement of the first connector housing relative to the panel,main locking portions which allow the first connector housing and the second connector housing to be locked to each other when the first connector housing and the second connector housing are completely fitted to each other, anda separation prevention portion which, when the locking of the temporary locking arm to the mounting hole of the panel is released by the temporary locking releasing portion as the second connector housing is fitted to the first connector housing until an intermediate stage in a state where the temporary locking arm is locked to the mounting hole of the panel, and in this state, the fitting of the first connector housing to the second connector housing is stopped to separate the second connector housing from the first connector housing, pulls the first connector housing to a position at which the temporary locking arm in a state where the locking to the mounting hole of the panel is released is re-locked to the mounting hole of the panel due to the separation operation of the second connector housing so as to allow the temporary locking arm to be re-locked to the mounting hole of the panel, and thus impedes the separation of the first connector housing from the panel. |
