Abstract
Abstract An electrical connector main body has a pair of mounting portions provided on both sides of a fitting portion which fits into a mating connector. A nut-placing recess is provided on an upper surface of each of the mounting portions. A parallel pair of slit-like apertures are provided on both sides of each of the nut-placing recess. Each of the nut-placing recess has at the bottom thereof a bolt-inserting aperture, and at least a pair of grooves which are oppositely provided on an internal surface of the bolt-inserting aperture along its axial line. A nut is fitted into the nut-placing recess and a bolt for fastening a printed wiring board is inserted into the bolt-inserting aperture so that the bolt can be screwed into the nut.
