A connector (5) is provided for connecting a first panel (6) to a second panel (7) with the first panel having one edge (8) thereof fixed relative to a surface (9) of the second panel and the two panels extending transversely to each other. The connector comprises an anchor unit for cooperation with an aperture (18) through the first panel inwardly of said one edge thereof and nut means (20, 34) that are captive relative to the anchor unit for receiving a fastener (19) passing through the second panel for urging the anchor unit towards the second panel to thereby connect the first and second panels together. The anchor unit comprises a first component (10) and a second component (11) each of which has a generally platelike base (12) having an operatively outer surface (13), an inner surface (14) from which one or more attachment lugs (one being, and 16) extend, and a peripheral edge. The attachment lugs are configured to retain the anchor unit in the assembled condition of the connector by cooperation with the nut means or the fastener, or both. The peripheral edge of the base, in each case, is shaped so that the base covers and obscures the aperture.
