ABSTRACT:
A panel connector having a housing 11 which includes a set of first spring-loaded arms 12 extending backward and outside from the left and right side surfaces 11a and a set of second spring-loaded arms 13 extending backward and outside from the top and bottom surfaces 11b. A set of lugs 14 is provided on the side surfaces 11a and 11b at the rear of housing 11. The first and second spring-loaded arms 12 and 13 exert an outward pressure on the sides of a panel opening. The first spring-loaded arms 12 have steps 12c facing backward, which prevent the housing 11 from being pulled out and the second spring-loaded arms 13 have depressions formed in pressure surface sections 13b, which limit movement of housing 11 in and out of the direction of insertion into a panel.
