Connector support structure

A connector comprising:

• a part for receiving a first connector, the part comprising at least one engagement panel configured to engage and support a rear end side of the first connector;
• the first connector comprising:
• a first connector body;
• and
• a pair of rotary members, each of the rotary members being supported on the first connector body by a supporting axis and comprising:
• a rear engagement projection configured to engage a rear surface of the engagement panel;
• and
• a front engagement projection configured to engage a front surface of the engagement panel;
• and
• a second connector configured to be fitted with the front end side of the first connector, the first connector and the second connector being electrically joined each other,
• wherein the front engagement projection of each of the rotary members is positioned to generate a tangential force for rotating the rotary member about the supporting axis when the second connector is fitted with the first connector.

A connector comprising:

• a first connector having a first connector body and a rotary member being rotatable with respect to a rotating axis substantially parallel to a surface of the engagement panel;
• a second connector configured to engage with the first connector;
• a part comprised of an engagement panel configured to receive and support the first connector;
• and
• the rotary member comprising a first engagement member and a second engagement member for holding the engagement panel therebetween,
• wherein, prior to an engagement between the first connector and the second connector, the first engagement member contacts a rear surface of the engagement panel and a second engagement member contacts a front surface of the engagement panel for supporting the first connector.
