Abstract

A female connector, normally inserted into a mounting panel, is provided with projections which correspond to receptive portions provided in a grommet which covers the connector. The receptive portions may include rigid members disposed therein to facilitate mating with the projections. Where a male connector is provided on the other side of the mounting panel, and is connected with the female connector through an insertion hole in the mounting panel, the male connector may be provided with similar projections, and a grommet for the connector may be provided with respective receptive portions.
