THROUGH-PANEL CONNECTOR

摘要

A through-panel connector, comprising a female connector (10) and a male connector disposed on one side and the other side of a panel (50) and fitted to each other through a mounting hole (51) formed in the panel (50). The female connector (10) comprises a plurality of flexible holding ribs (11). The holding ribs (11) are formed on the outer peripheral surface (32) of the female connector (10) opposed to the mounting hole inner peripheral surface (53) of the panel (50) so as to be extended along the insert direction of the mounting hole (51) and separated from the outer peripheral surface (32) while being extended from the base end part (12) to the tip part (13) of the female connector (10) along the mounting hole inner peripheral surface (53). The holding ribs (11) are energized and held on the mounting hole inner peripheral surface (53) with the female connector (10) fitted to the panel (50).
