る。2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a connector of this type is disclosed in
What is described in -72476 is known.
In this connector, one of a pair of connectors fitted to each other is inserted through a mounting hole opened in the panel from the back side, and a sealing member mounted on the rear end side is connected to the opening on the back side of the mounting hole. It is pre-mounted with the rim in contact. Then, the mating connector is fitted from the front side, and a bolt provided here is screwed into a nut provided on the connector on the panel side, so that both connectors are fitted together so as to be attracted to each other. The sealing member is pressed against the edge on the back side of the mounting hole to seal the mounting hole. In this type of connector, since there is a panel between them, it is not possible to fit both connectors by hand,
The fastening force of the bolt is used to assist the fitting force.

のである。Incidentally, the above-mentioned bolt / nut type has a problem that the production cost is high because it is necessary to bury the bolt and nut in the housing by insert molding, and instead, as a means for assisting the fitting force. A lever type using a lever was considered. In this connector, a follower pin is projected from an outer surface of a connector attached to a panel, and a lever provided with a cam groove is mounted on a mating connector, and both connectors are engaged by engagement of the cam groove and follower pin with rotation of the lever. Are attracted and fitted together, and the sealing member is used to seal the mounting hole.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the follower pins b are erected on the left and right side surfaces of the housing a, in order to allow the follower pins b to be inserted, the mounting holes d of the panel c are required.
Must be made wider in the lateral direction than the outer shape of the housing a. Then, in a state where the connector is inserted through the mounting hole d, there is a lateral clearance between the housing a and the mounting hole d, so that the connector may be shifted in the same direction. Then, the position of the seal member e and the edge of the mounting hole d are shifted, and the sealing cannot be performed.

There is. The present invention has been completed based on the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to prevent a connector from being displaced in a mounting hole of a panel.

Subsequently, the assembling procedure will be described. First, as shown by the arrow in FIG. 1, the male connector M is inserted into the mounting hole 4 of the panel P from the cabin 1 side. Since the mounting hole 4 is formed to have a large width in advance, the follower pins 20 protruding from the left and right side surfaces of the male housing 10 are inserted without any trouble. As the insertion proceeds, the slopes 46 of the left and right ribs 45 and the upper and lower ridges 1
7 is pushed into the female connector F in a centered state by hitting the edge 17A on the back side of the mounting hole 4 with the slope 17A,
When further proceeding, the upper and lower locking pieces 18 are pushed in while being bent and deformed inward.

る。When the rubber ring 15 is pushed until the rubber ring 15 comes into contact with the back edge of the mounting hole 4, the panel P is engaged with the locking piece 18.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the locking piece 18 is restored to the outside and the projection 19 is locked on the front edge of the mounting hole 4. F is temporarily held with respect to the panel P in a state in which the panel F is prevented from being pulled out toward the passenger compartment 1. At this time, the rear ends of the upper and lower protrusions 17 of the male housing 10 fit tightly into the upper and lower peripheral edges of the mounting hole 4, while the rear ends of the left and right ribs 45 are positioned within the left and right peripheral edges of the mounting hole 4. The male connector M is tightly fitted, and is temporarily held in the mounting hole 4 in a state where there is no play in the vertical and horizontal directions.

To the male connector M protruding from the panel P. At this time, the lever 37 is located at the inviting position (solid line in FIG. 1), and with the insertion of the female connector F,
When the follower pin 20 on the male connector M side is introduced into the entrance of the corresponding cam groove 38 of the lever 37, and subsequently the lever 37 is rotated toward the fitting position shown by the solid line in FIG.
The engagement between the cam groove 38 and the follower pin 20 causes the male and female connectors F and M to be fitted together so as to be attracted to each other. When the lever 37 is rotated to the fitting position and locked by the lock piece 42, the flange 34 of the female connector F is attached from the front side, and the flange 14 of the male connector M is attached via the rubber ring 15 from the back side. And the male and female connectors F and M are fitted through the panel P.

The mounting hole 4 of the panel P is widened in the lateral width direction to allow the follower pin 20 to be inserted, since the follower pin 20 is set up on the side surface of the male housing 10 and the mounting hole 4. Although there is a possibility that a clearance is formed and the position is shifted in the lateral direction, in this embodiment,
Since the male housing 10 is provided with the ribs 45 directed to the left and right peripheral edges of the mounting hole 4 so as to fill the clearance, there is no possibility that the male connector M laterally shifts in the mounting hole 4. For this reason, the rubber ring 15 is normally applied to the edge on the back surface side of the mounting hole 4 over the entire circumference, and the mounting hole 4
The sealing function can be reliably performed at the portion.
