Abstract: A clamp (10) has a plate (12) with a harness-mounting part (11) to be fastened to a wire harness. Two spaced-apart stems (14) project from the plate (12). A spanning part (14) connects confronting portions of the stems (15) to form a cavity (18). A vane support (17) projects out from the end of each stem (15) and a vane (16) projects down and out from a tip of each vane support (17). A vehicle body-locking part (16a) formed at a tip of each vane (16). The spanning part (14) twists towards the cavity (18) when the wire harness is pulled in a withdrawal direction from the vehicle body to unlock the vehicle body-locking parts (16a) of the vanes (16) from the locking hole.

Abstract: Slits to be used for insertion of an FFC are formed in the root section of each of guide ribs of a male connector housing. A retainer provided integrally with the male connector housing is engaged with a rear-end opening section of the male connector housing. The FFC is sandwiched between a projecting section of the male connector housing and a recessed section of the male connector housing, in a folded manner.

Abstract: A retainer guide groove having guiding faces which are in parallel with a direction of inserting the retainer into a connector housing and opposed to each other is formed in an inner side face of a side wall of the connector housing. A retainer insertion direction restricting arm having guided faces is formed in the retainer. The guided faces are guided in the retainer guide groove while being respectively in sliding contact with the opposing guiding faces of the retainer guide groove when the retainer is to be inserted into the connector housing. A terminal engagement portion is disposed in the retainer. The terminal engagement portion prevents a connecting terminal which is provisionally inserted into the terminal housing chamber of the connector housing when the retainer is provisionally positioned with respect to the connector housing, from slipping off from the terminal housing chamber.

Abstract: A structure of a connector arrangement for vehicles has a male and a female connector (3, 5, 10, 11) one (10, 11) of which is attached to a vehicle body and the other (3, 5) is wired within an instrument panel, and fixing bolts (16, 17) for regularly fitting the male and female connectors to each other. The connector (10, 11) is upwardly and downwardly, rightwardly and leftwardly displaceably supported a fixed frame (24e) as a bracket disposed on a steering member (24) through a floating case (25), etc. The connector (3, 5) is mounted in position where the connector (3, 5) can be temporarily fitted into the connector (10, 11) attached to the vehicle body, at the time the steering member (24) is mounted on a vehicle body panel (7).
