Abstract
Supporting pieces () on side surfaces of a waiting-side connector () are insertable into supporting grooves () of a casing (). Contact projections (F,R) are on one outer wall surface () of each supporting piece near the upper end and bottom ends. A squeezable projection () is on an outer wall surface () opposite from the outer wall surface () where the contact projections () are provided. The squeezable projection () has a substantially triangular cross section and contacts a wall surface (A) of the supporting groove () as insertion of the supporting piece () into the supporting groove () progresses. A tip of the squeezable projection () is squeezed at a final stage of the insertion to engage the supporting piece () with the supporting groove (). Accordingly, the waiting-side connector () is supported in the casing () without shaking.
