Abstract
A first connector has a rear end side supported by a part to be assembled. A second connector is to be fitted with the first connector to be mounted from a front end side thereof. The first connector and the second connector are electrically joined each other. The part to be assembled includes an engagement panel engaged with the first connector. The first connector includes a first connector body, and a rotary member for engagement which is supported to the first connector body by a supporting axis for a free end of the rotary member to project from a rear end face of the first connector body. The rotary member includes a rear engagement projection engaging with a back face of the engagement panel, and a front engagement projection engaging with a front face of the engagement panel. The front engagement projection is positioned to generate a tangential force for rotating the rotary member about the supporting axis when the second connector is fitted with the first connector.
