ABSTRACT:
An automatic connector mutually-fitting mechanism in which a pair of connectors to be fitted together are mounted respectively on separate structural members, and the connectors are fitted together by connecting the structural members together. A male connector is projectably and retractably mounted movably in a connector guide groove of an instrument panel, a female connector is fixedly mounted on a gauge board, and a fitting lever having a cam groove is movably mounted on the gauge board. In a process of connecting the gauge board to the instrument panel, the fitting lever is moved relative to the gauge board, with a front end of the fitting lever abutted against an inner surface of the instrument panel, so that a driven pin of the male connector, fitted in the cam groove, is driven, thereby fitting the two connectors together.
