Abstract

An electrical connector is disclosed for mounting in an aperture in a panel or the like and includes a housing. A yieldable anti-vibration arm projects from the housing for engaging the panel when the connector is mounted in the aperture in the panel to prevent vibration between the connector and the panel. A recess is formed in the anti-vibration arm at a location to relieve stress in the arm during yielding thereof.
