る。When the cover 30 is further pressed down, the locking piece 31 is elastically deformed, and when the cover 30 reaches the regular position of the frame 20, the locking piece 31 is restored, and the locking piece provided on the locking piece 31 is restored. A stop hole 32 engages with the locking projection 24. At this time, for example, the locking piece 31 is hit against the outer surface of the guide piece 23 by the elastic reaction force, and a striking sound is generated, thereby notifying that the cover 30 is locked at the regular position of the frame 20. . When the cover 30 is attached to the regular position of the frame 20, as shown in FIG. 7, the base end of the contact protrusion 35 provided on the cover 30 fits into the concave portion 25 provided on the frame 20. The front end portion faces a part of the rear end face 10A of the housing structure 10 to assist in preventing the housing structure 10 from coming off.

When the process is shifted to the mounting process of No. 0, it is as follows.
That is, the rear end face 10A of the half-inserted housing structure 10
Is located above the bottom surface 25A of the recess 25 in FIG. 2B and FIG. Therefore, in the process of pressing the cover 30 against the rear end face 20 </ b> A of the frame 20, before the contact protrusion 35 reaches the inner part of the recess 25, the contact protrusion 35 is located behind the housing structure 10 in the half-inserted state. It comes into contact with the end face 10A (see FIGS. 4 and 9A). When the cover 30 is further pressed against the frame 20, the housing component 10 is pushed by the contact protrusion 35 and moves to the normal insertion position (see FIGS. 5, 7, and 9 (B)). As a result, the housing structure 10 is
It can be reliably pushed into the normal position of 0.
