ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector attached to a door or body panel of an automobile for wiring electrical parts includes a body having a front opening and holding, in it, terminals capable of fitting with counterpart terminals, respectively. A pair of locking arms each capable of flexing inwardly are provided at the outer periphery of the body. Each locking arm has a concave-convex engagement structure engaged with an edge of the panel defining a mounting hole when the connector is inserted into the mounting hole. A pair of deformation preventing portions are formed to the inside of the locking arms to be engaged with the locking arms, respectively. The deformation preventing portions prevent deformation of the locking arms by engaging the locking arms, respectively. The locking arms engage the respective deformation preventing portions when something strikes against the locking arms and the locking arms are flexed inwardly. Each locking arm will not, however, flex excessively due to its engagement with a deformation preventing portion, thereby being protected.
