ABSTRACT:
A connector mutually-fitting mechanism in which a pair of connectors, mounted respectively on separate structural members, are fitted together through a fitting lever. Specifically, one connector is projectably and retractably mounted on an instrument panel, and the other connector is fixedly mounted on a gauge board. A driven pin is formed on and projects from the one connector, and a guide groove for receiving the driven pin is formed in the other connector. After the gauge board is connected to the instrument panel, a fitting lever having a cam groove is inserted, thereby fitting the driven pin into the cam groove, and the fitting lever is moved forward and backward, thereby fitting the two connectors together and disengaging the two connectors from each other.
