A clip (1) which exhibits a sufficient degree of connecting force even when an applicable range of panel thickness is widened, i.e., even when the panel thickness is increased or reduced, and is highly resistant against a pulling-out force and easy to remove. The clip (1) comprises a pin (2) having a flange (7) and a shaft portion (8) and a bush (3) having a flange (9) and a shaft portion (10) and hollowed so as to receive the pin shaft portion (8), wherein the bush shaft portion (10) is inserted into holes of panels (4, 5) which are to be connected to each other and then the pin shaft portion (8) is inserted into the hollow shaft portion of the bush so as to expand the diameter of bush shaft portion, whereby the panels (4, 5) are connected to each other by this expanded shaft portion and the bush flange. The bush shaft portion (10) is constructed such that its root portion (22) adjacent to the flange (9) is made thinner than its intermediate portion (23) up to the intermediate portion, and the bush shaft portion (10) is flexed from the root portion (22) so as to be expanded, whereby a high connecting force can be maintained even with a thin panel. Moreover, a rib (24) formed at a leading end thereof is brought into abutment with the pin shaft portion whereby the bush shaft portion is prevented from inward flexure to thereby provide high resistance against a pulling-out force. A gap (25) is formed between the pin flange (7) and the bush flange (9) for allowing the leading end of a tool to be inserted thereinto to facilitate the removal of the clip.
