Abstract

A charging inlet includes a housing, a cap, and a biasing mechanism. In the housing, a second connection portion to which a mating connector is connected and a cap support portion are provided. The cap includes an axial support portion being rotatably attached to the cap support portion so as to expose the second connection portion at an open position while covering the second connection portion at a closed position. The biasing mechanism is arranged between the housing and the axial support portion to bias the axial support portion toward a direction separating from the housing. The biasing mechanism includes a spring, a holder accommodating the spring, and a contact portion arranged between the holder and the axial support portion to come into contact with the axial support portion.
