Abstract
The invention provides a bolt-equipped connector in which the bolt will be mounted when the connector is mated with a counter connector. Engaging protrusions (25a, 26a) of a bolt holder (20) are engaged with engaging portions (15b, 16b), whereby the bolt holder (20) is fitted to a holder mounting hole (13) of a housing (11) of a male connector (10). In this state, the bolt (40) is pushed into the bolt holder (20) at the time of mating with a female connector. Engaging pieces (44b, 44c) of a stop ring (44) additionally provided to the bolt (40) are engaged with a step portion (22b) of the bolt holder (20), so that the bolt (40) is rotatably held to the housing (11) via the bolt holder (20). Then, a male screw portion (41) of the bolt (40) is screwed in a screw hole of the female connector, whereby the connectors are mated with each other.
