Abstract
A connector mounting construction includes a male housing (,) with a receptacle (,) into which a mating female housing is fittable. The male housing (,) has a shaft (,) that extends along an axis of connection (Z-axis direction) with the female housing, and a planar base (,). A holder (,) is provided with an accommodating portion (,) for accommodating the base (,), and holds the male housing (,) for sliding movement in directions normal to the axis of connection and for rotation about the axis of connection. Four elastic ribs (,F,,R) are provided to be located around the shaft (,), so that the male housing (,) is biased to a specified proper position. Rotation of the male housing (,) about the axis of connection is restricted by contact of the base (,) with side walls (,) or a rear wall (,) of the accommodating portion (,).
