Abstract
A connector apparatus comprising male and female connector members and a stay for mounting the connector members in place. A pair of oblong projections are formed on the terminal block portion at the rear end of each connector member so as to be located on opposite sides of the lead wire outlet section of the terminal block portion. The stay is provided with a pair of first elastic hook pieces engageable with the pair of oblong projections of the male connector member and a pair of second elastic hook pieces engageable with the pair of oblong projections of the female connector member. The first and second elastic hook pieces are arranged to face each other with a space therebetween measuring approximately equal to the distance between the terminal block portions of the two connector members when the connector members are completely assembled to maintain the members in assembled condition.
