Abstract
A connector mounting structure includes a first device (60) with a first mounting hole (61) and a first connector (F) to be mounted in the first mounting hole (61). First resilient lock pieces (12) are formed on the first connector (F) and are deflected by interfering with an edge of the first mounting hole (61) in the process of mounting the first connector (F) into the mounting hole (61). First locking projections (14) are formed on the first connector (F) and sandwich the edge of the first mounting hole (61) between the first resilient lock pieces (12) and the first locking projections (14). Second deflection regulating portions (49) are formed on a second connector (M) and regulate separation of the first resilient lock pieces (12) from the edge of the first mounting hole (61) with the second connector (M) connected to the first connector (F).
