Body-mounted connector

摘要

A body-mounted connector having on one side a shroud with a mating connector socket and on the other side a terminal housing member. The connector is secured to the body member of an automobile with the front edge of the shroud projecting from a mounting hole opened in the body member. A spacer can slide freely along the inside surface of the shroud. An initial engagement member for holding the spacer in the partially engaged position is formed on the shroud. A movable locking member projects at the front edge of the shroud. The spacer slides along the movable locking member such that when the spacer is moved to the main engagement position, the movable locking member moves with the spacer to the body engagement position, and locks the connector to the body member.
