Abstract
A connector structure, having a short-circuiting member, includes a housing, terminal receiving chambers formed in the housing, a short-circuiting member receiving chamber communicating with the terminal receiving chambers, the short-circuiting member having resilient contact plate portions formed thereon, the short-circuiting member being received in the short-circuiting member receiving chamber, so that the contact plate portions project respectively into the terminal receiving chambers to be press-contacted respectively with terminals mounted respectively in the terminal receiving chambers, and a contact plate portion urging unit urging the contact plate portions against a resilient force thereof to thereby limit an amount of projection of the contact plate portions into the terminal receiving chambers to a predetermined value.
Claims4
A connector structure, COMPRISING:
- a housing;
- terminal receiving chambers formed in said housing;
- a short-circuiting member receiving chamber communicating with said terminal receiving chambers;
- a short-circuiting member having resilient contact plate portions which are resiliently urged in the same direction, said short-circuiting member being received in said short-circuiting member receiving chamber, so that said contact plate portions project respectively into said terminal receiving chambers to be press-contacted respectively with terminals to be mounted respectively in said terminal receiving chambers;
- and
- means for urging said contact plate portions against a resilient force of said contact plate portions thereby limiting an amount of projection of said contact plate portions into said terminal receiving chambers prior to insertion of said terminals to be mounted respectively in said terminal receiving chambers.
