Abstract
A connector fastening nut for a bolt-nut fastened connector comprises: a nut member (A, B, C, D) fixed to a first connector housing (M) and formed with a female threaded portion (1) engaged with a male threaded portion (5) of a fastening bolt (4) fitted to a second connector housing (F); and an elastic portion (3c, 7c, 8c, 10a) formed integral with the nut member, for urging an end of the fastening bolt in an engagement direction between the female threaded portion of the nut member and the male threaded portion of the fastening bolt, when the male threaded portion has been passed through the female threaded portion after full engagement of the two connector housings (M, F) by fastening the fastening bolt to the fastening nut. The connector fastening nut can engage/disengage the two connector housings smoothly, while preventing the damage of the threaded portions thereof and improving the water-tightness of the fastening nut.
