になっている。2. Description of the Related Art As a fitting structure of this kind of connector,
For example, there is one disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-55262 shown in FIG. In the connector fitting structure disclosed in this publication, as shown in FIG. 10A, the electrical component 4 is provided on the male connector 1 which is inserted into the fitting hole 8a of the connector mounting plate 8 and stands by. The female connector 5 is fitted from the mounting opening 9a side of the instrument panel 9. The male connector 1 has a flexible locking piece 2, and locks a projection 2 a provided on the locking piece 2 into a fitting hole 8 a of a connector mounting plate 8 before fitting. It is. From this state, when the female connector 5 is inserted through the mounting opening 9a of the instrument panel 9 and fitted to the male connector 1, as shown in FIGS. 5 is properly fitted, the locking piece 2 bends downward and the hook 3 at the tip of the locking piece 2
Is fitted into the escape hole 6 of the female connector 5. When the electrical component 4 is further pushed in from this state, as shown in FIG. 10D, the male connector 1 is pushed to the mounting position, and the female connector 5 is inserted via the lock piece 4a of the electrical component 4 into the instrument panel. 9 is locked in the mounting opening 9a.

た。However, in the conventional connector fitting structure, the locking piece 2 of the male connector 1 is not provided.
Since the tapered surface 2b is formed at the rear part of the projection 2a, the male connector 1 is easily retreated during the fitting of the connectors 1 and 5, and the connectors 1 and 5 are completely fitted. The work of assembling it in the correct position was difficult and lacked reliability. For this reason, when the mating of the two connectors 1 and 5 is released during maintenance or the like, the male connector 1 remains in a state of being lowered to the rear of the connector mounting plate 8. Could not fit.
Further, if the wire harness connected to the male connector 1 is pulled for some reason after the mating of the connectors 1 and 5, there is no locking means between the connectors 1 and 5, so that the mating of the connectors 1 and 5 is not performed. There was a risk that the connection would be lost. Further, since the connectors 1 and 5 are fitted only by the holding force of the female terminal (not shown) of the male connector 1 and the male terminal 7 of the female connector 5, the fitting force between the connectors 1 and 5 is insufficient.
It was weak against vibration, and it was easy for rattling and abnormal noise to occur.
