A lock pin for mounting a board-mount type connector on a board is formed of an elastic material and comprises an upper lateral arm, a pair of spaced long central legs respectively extending downwardly from the center of the upper lateral arm and a pair of spaced short outside legs respectively extending downwardly from the upper lateral arm along the outsides of the central legs. The central legs are adapted to be inserted into a lock pin mounting opening formed at one member of the connector from the upper surface side of the one member to project from the lower surface side of the one member over a considerable length and be inserted into a lock pin inserting opening of the board. The central legs are respectively formed at the lower ends thereof with side projections to be engaged with the periphery of the lock pin inserting opening. The outside legs are respectively formed at the lower ends thereof with side projections to be engaged with shoulders formed at the periphery of the lock pin mounting opening of the one member.
