• and
• a shelf terminal unit provided in a shelf installed in the main body,
• wherein the holder terminal unit includes:
• a holder installed at an inner rear wall of the refrigerator main body and having an opening which is opened toward a front side of the refrigerator;
• a holder side terminal provided to correspond to a shelf side terminal of the shelf terminal unit and provided to be movable in forward and backward directions within the holder;
• an elastic member provided between the holder and the holder side terminal and configured to elastically support the holder side terminal;
• and
• a bridge (i) configured to elastically support both sides of a rear surface of the holder side terminal to compensate for an eccentric pressure generated by pressing one side of the holder side terminal, (ii) formed of a metallic material and configured to electrically connect the power supply unit to the holder side terminal, and (iii) including (a) a support part extended from a rear surface of the holder side terminal in a lengthwise direction and configured to support both sides of the holder side terminal and (b) a connection part extended in a crossing direction of the lengthwise direction and elastically supported by the holder, and electrically connected to a power supply unit,
• wherein the holder side terminal is pressurized by the shelf side terminal which is inserted into the holder through the opening and moved rearwardly when the shelf is installed to the refrigerator main body, while maintaining an elastic contact with the shelf side terminal by the elastic member.
