Abstract
A connector includes a connection terminal including a terminal section which is configured to contact with a mating terminal, a housing that holds the connection terminal in a state that the terminal section protrudes from the housing, and a front holder provided on the housing so as to be slidable along an extension direction of the connection terminal. The front holder is disposed at a first position in which the front holder covers a side portion of the terminal section in a case that the front holder slides forward in the extension direction, and the front holder is disposed at a second position in which the side portion of the terminal section is exposed in a case that the front holder slides rearward in the extension direction.
Claims4
A connector comprising:
- a connection terminal including a terminal section which is configured to contact with a mating terminal;
- a housing that holds the connection terminal in a state that the terminal section protrudes from an end portion of the housing;
- and
- a front holder provided on the housing so as to be slidable along an extension direction of the connection terminal, the front holder comprising a guide protrusion formed on the front holder so as to protrude from a tip end of the front holder,
- wherein the front holder is disposed at a first position in which the front holder covers a side portion of the terminal section when the front holder slides forward in the extension direction, and the front holder is disposed at a second position in which the side portion of the terminal section is exposed when the front holder slides rearward in the extension direction,
- wherein the guide protrusion is configured to engage a recessed guide section formed in a mating housing for holding the mating terminal to thereby align a position of the connection terminal with a position of the mating terminal.
