ABSTRACT:
A panel mounted connector removably mountable to an opening of a panel includes: a male connector (43); and a female connector (41) mated with the male connector. The female connector includes a female connector housing (45) formed with an engagement hood portion (47) having an inner cavity engaged with the male connector and an outer periphery engaged with the mount opening (51) of the panel (P). The engagement hood portion is further formed with a pair of hood cutout portions (53, 55). The female connector housing is further formed with a pair of flexible lock arms (57, 59), each having a lock claw (61, 63) engageable with an edge of the opening of the panel at a free end thereof, for locking the female connector with the panel. When locked with the panel opening, the lock claws are kept pinched between the engaged male connector and the edge of the panel opening within the hood cutout portions formed in the engagement hood portions, respectively.
