ABSTRACT:
A rotation preventing structure adapted to regulate the excessive rotation of a movable connector 31 is disclosed. During connection, the position of the connector may shift so as to align with a mating connector. A structure is disclosed which limits such a shift. The structure comprises: a rectangular mounting hole 43 formed in a mounting member 41; a supporting board 35 coupled to a connector housing 33; a locking member 37 protruded from one surface of the supporting board 35, the locking member being inserted into the mounting hole 43 and locked to the mounting hole 43; and rotation regulating means 47 and 49 provided on the mounting member and the supporting board 35 to regulate the rotation of the movable connector about the inserting central axis c of the locking member 37. The rotation regulating means may include protrusions 47 locatable on either the support board 35 or on the mounting member 41.
