A connector apparatus for electrical wiring with male and female connector members and a stay for mounting the connector members on a base, such as a vehicle. The connector members are provided with mating male and female projections, one of which has an engagement opening for receiving a locking pawl on the stay when the connector members are completely and properly assembled. The engagement opening is partially blocked if the connector members are not completely and properly assembled and the pawl is tapered to force such assembly upon installation of the connector members on the stay.

A connector apparatus comprising male and female connector members each having a housing, a stay for mounting the connector members in place, a male projection provided on an outer side surface of the housing of the male connector member, a female projection into which said male projection can be inserted in the direction in which both the male and the female connector members are assembled to each other provided on an outer side surface of the housing of the female connector member, and at least one of the male and the female projections has an engagement opening formed to open in a direction perpendicular to said assembly direction of the male and the female connector members so that an opening of said engagement opening becomes narrower depending on the progress in assembling the male and the female connector members and becomes wide-open to receive a locking pawl formed on the stay when both the male and the female connector members are completely assembled to each other, said locking pawl having a wedge-shaped end so that it can be inserted into the engagement opening by forcible insertion even when both the male and the female connector members are still in a partially assembled condition, thereby forcibly bringing the connector members into the completely assembled condition; wherein a said male projection is provided on each of two opposite outer side surfaces of the male connector member housing, wherein a said female projection is provided on each of two opposite outer side surfaces of the female connector member housing, and the stay comprises two locking pawls for inserting into two engagement openings formed on said projections.
