Ground connector and method of mounting it

摘要

A joint connector (JC) has a ground terminal (50) mounted in a housing (30) so that a grounding plate (52) projects outside. The grounding plate (52) is fastened to a metal panel (80) by a nut (83) and bolt (87). A mount hole (85) of rectangular cross section is formed at a specified distance in a specified direction from the nut (83). A clip (70) is formed on the bottom of the housing (30) so that the positional relationship of the clip (70) and an insertion hole (53) of the grounding plate (52) corresponds to that of the mount hole (85) of the nut (83) of the metal panel (80). The housing (30) is mounted on the metal panel (80) by inserting the clip (70) into the mount hole (85). Thus, the insertion hole (53) of the grounding plate (52) is at a position aligned with the nut (83).
