Abstract
A connector support mechanism includes a female connector ( ) and a male connector ( ). A cam lever ( ) formed with a cam groove ( ) which guides a boss ( ) protruding from the female connector ( ) is turnably pivoted by the male connector ( ). In a state in which the boss ( ) is inserted into the cam groove ( ), if the cam lever ( ) turns, the female connector ( ) and the male connector ( ) are fitted to each other. The bracket ( ) is provided with a resilient temporarily locking arm ( ) which abuts a rear side surface of the boss ( ) of the female connector ( ). Therefore, a fitting load can be reduced by the function of the cam lever ( ), and a structure of the female connector ( ) which is temporarily locked to the bracket ( ) can also be simplified.
