Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to regulate rotation of a terminal housed in a terminal-housing component. This connector comprises: a terminal with which a pin-shaped mating terminal is connected by insertion, and which includes a cylindrical base part and a plurality of elastic pieces extending from one end of the cylindrical base part; and a terminal-housing component having a housing space for housing at least a part of the terminal. The cylindrical base part has a slit positioned between the plurality of elastic pieces in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical base part. The slit has a pair of side surfaces facing each other in the circumferential direction of the cylindrical base part. The terminal-housing component has a rotation-preventing protrusion that projects on the housing space side and is positioned between the pair of side surfaces by fitting in the slit.
