Mount of electrical connector

摘要

A mount of an electrical connector serves to firmly mount the connector on an electrical appliance. One connector body of the electrical connector is to be fixed to a circuit board of the electrical appliance and has a housing as its outer casing whose mating connector socket is positioned in and spaced the connector opening formed in a panel plate of the electrical appliance. The mount is constructed as a clamp holder made of a resin including a fitting portion to be fitted on the outer circumference of the housing of the connector body fixed to the circuit board. The fitting portion of the clamp holder is also to be fixed to the panel plate in the state of the fitting portion being fitted on the outer circumference of the housing of the connector body so that the clamp holder made of the resin, the housing of the connector body and the panel plate are integrally fixed to one another. In this manner, the connector body can be fixed to the circuit board and the panel plate of the electrical appliance with great stability. Even if the housing of the connector body and the panel plate are made of conductive materials, insulation between them is maintained because of the clamp holder made of the insulating resin.
