Device connector and method of producing it

A device connector to be attached to a case of a device, comprising:

• a plate (30;
• 130) having opposite first and second surfaces spaced apart in a plate thickness direction (TD) and an opening (31;
• 131) penetrating the plate (30;
• 130) in the plate thickness direction (TD);
• a housing (50;
• 150) made of synthetic resin and fixed to the plate (30;
• 130);
• and
• at least one terminal fitting (10;
• 110) held in the housing (50;
• 150) while penetrating through the opening (31;
• 131);
• wherein:
• the housing (50;
• 150) includes a fixing portion (52;
• 152) that at least partly covers an edge of the opening (31;
• 131) while exposing an outer peripheral edge of the plate (30;
• 130);
• and
• the fixing portion (52;
• 152) includes a first side sliding portion (52A;
• 152A) slidable relative to the first surface of the plate (30;
• 130), a second side sliding portion (52B;
• 152B) slidable relative to the second surface side of the plate (30;
• 130) and a coupling (52C;
• 152C) arranged in the opening (31;
• 131) and coupling the first side sliding portion (52A;
• 152A) and the second side sliding portion (52B;
• 152B).
