Abstract
A connector apparatus which assures sufficient fitting of a pair of connectors with each other. The connector apparatus includes a pair of connectors, and a fixing frame having a through-hole defined by a pair of side walls thereof along which the connectors are movable in a fitting direction and in a direction perpendicular to the fitting direction. A guide mechanism including pins on each of the connectors and pin receiving guideways in the fixing frame guides the connectors after the connectors are inserted into the through-hole of the fixing frame from the opposite ends toward each other until they are partially fitted with each other and then causes the connectors to gradually approach and fit together until a thoroughly fitted condition is reached.
