  • crush ribs such as crush ribs 486 and crush ribs 500 come into strong contact with the mating surface, allowing the mounting member 460 to firmly hold the fitting opening 462.
  • These crush ribs also allow the fitting opening 462 to be correctly positioned in the opening 64 of the mounting member 460. As a result, the mounting member 460 and the fitting opening 462 can be reliably assembled while ensuring workability.
  • the crush ribs of the mounting member 460 and the crush ribs of the fitting opening 462 are positioned so that they face each other when the fitting opening 462 is fitted into the mounting member 460.
  • this disclosure is not limited to such an embodiment.
  • the crush ribs can also be positioned so that they do not face each other when fitted. In that case, there is no need to limit the size of the crush ribs. However, from the perspective of ensuring workability, it is better to avoid making the crush ribs large.
  • the crush ribs of the mounting member 460 and the crush ribs of the mating opening 462 are both located at positions that are vertical, horizontal, and lateral when viewed from the front of the connector 450 when the connector 450 is attached to a vehicle.
  • these crush ribs are located at positions that are linearly symmetrical to each other with respect to a vertical axis that passes through the center of the front of the connector 450.
  • These crush ribs are also located at positions that are linearly symmetrical to each other with respect to a horizontal axis that passes through the front of the connector 450.
  • these crush ribs are located at positions that are four-fold rotationally symmetrical with respect to the center point of the front of the connector 450.
  • the light leaks forward from the gap formed between the inner circumferential surface 72 of the opening 64 and the outer periphery of the mating portion 520, other than the area where the crush ribs are present.
  • This provides an aesthetic effect in that the tip of the mating opening 462 appears to be floating above its surroundings.
  • the crush ribs are arranged as described above, the light leaking out when viewed from the front is symmetrical and spaced equally apart. This provides the effect that the tip of the mating opening 462, which is highlighted by the light, appears to shine.
  • the same aesthetic effect can be obtained, for example, even if the crush ribs are arranged only vertically symmetrically and not horizontally symmetrically, or even if they are arranged only horizontally symmetrically and not vertically symmetrically.
  • the number of crush ribs formed on both the mounting member 460 and the fitting opening 462 is four.
  • the number of crush ribs on both sides may be different.
  • the number of crush ribs does not have to be four, and may be three or five or more.
  • the protrusion of an appropriate size provided at an appropriate position may be a protrusion other than a crush rib.
  • it may be a rib other than a crush rib.
