ABSTRACT:
A connector apparatus which assures sufficient fitting of a pair of connectors with each other. The connector apparatus comprises a pair of connectors and a fixing frame having a through-hole defined by a pair of side walls thereof along which the connectors are movable in a fitting direction and then in a slantwise or inclined direction. A guide mechanism is provided which guides the connectors as they are moved to a predetermined position in the inclined direction after the connectors are inserted into the through-hole of the fixing frame from the opposite ends toward each other until they are partially fitted with each other. The guide mechanism causes one of the connectors to gradually approach and fit with the other connector until a throughly fitted condition is reached. Only when the connectors are at the predetermined position, a flexible grommet for the one connector can be fixed by way of a fixing element to a panel or the like to which the fixing frame is secured.
