Patent ID: 7500872

Claim:
A connector comprising: a connector main body having opposing side walls and mounted on a substrate; a latching piece that is attached to the connector main body and which has an outer edge that faces away from the nearest of said side walls of the connector main body and which temporarily joins the connector main body to the substrate by temporarily latching to an edge portion of an attachment hole formed in the substrate; and a rib which is stiffer than said latching piece and attached to the connector main body and adjacent to the latching piece, and which is inserted into the attachment hole, and having an edge portion in the width direction that interferes with an interior peripheral portion of the attachment hole that is opposite to said edge portion of said attachment hole when external force in a direction of moving away from the substrate acts on one end side of the connector main body so as to generate resistance force that resists the external force, wherein said rib edge portion engages said interior peripheral portion of the attachment hole throughout substantially all of a thickness of said substrate.
