ABSTRACT:
A main connector (31) which is provided on a car body (37) and is attachable to an insertion-side connector (53) provided on an instrument panel (51). A holding shaft (39b) projects from a car body (37). The main connector (31) includes a movable bracket (35) and a connector body (33) attached to the movable bracket. A holding-shaft insertion hole (35g) is formed in the movable bracket (35) so that the holding shaft (39b) is loosely fitted in the hole. Flexible lock arms (49) are provided on the holding shaft (39b) for temporarily locking the movable bracket (35) on the holding shaft (39b). When the insertion-side connector is fitted to the main connector (31), the movable bracket (35) is separated from the holding shaft (39b), releasing the fixed relationship between the movable bracket (35) and the holding shaft (39b). As a result, no load is exerted on the terminal contact between the insertion-side connector (53) and the main connector (31) due to vibrations of the car body. Therefore, the reliability of the electrical connection is improved.
