First resilient portions (21) having a radially-acting resilient force, as well as second resilient portions (23) having an axially-acting resilient force, are provided on a support member (2). A connection member (1) has a fitting portion (4) for receiving the support member, and the fitting portion has retaining portions (12) for the resilient portions (21). The resilient portions (21) contact an inner surface of the fitting portion (4), and the resilient portions (24) are abutted against the fitting portion. Guide grooves (20) are formed respectively in four side surfaces of the support member (2), and the resilient piece portion (21) is provided in each of the guide grooves, and projects rearwardly, and the resilient arms (23) are formed on the outer surface of the support member, and project forwardly. The retaining pawls (12) are formed on an open end (11) of the fitting portion, and each of the retaining pawls is received in the associated guide groove (20) to be engaged with the associated resilient piece portion (21), and elongate projections (10) each for contact with the associated resilient piece portion (21) are formed on the inner surface of the fitting portion. The connection member is either a frame for receiving a plurality of connectors or a connector, and the connection member, fitted on the support member (2) mounted on the panel, can be fitted in a mating frame or a mating connector (39), which is fixed to another panel.
