ABSTRACT:
A connector housing (10) has a front surface with projecting walls that form a groove (31). A front mask (60) is mountable at a mount position on the front surface of the housing (10). The front mask (60) has a fittable portion (62) that fits the groove (31) when the front mask (60) is at the mount position. Latches (35) are formed on the inner surfaces of the projecting walls facing the groove (31), and engaging projections (77) are provided on side surfaces of the fittable portion (62) facing the inner surfaces of the projecting walls. The engaging projections (77) and the latches (35) resiliently engage to hold the front mask (60) at the mount position. Engaged areas of the engaging portions (77) and the latches (35) face the front ends of the projecting walls.
