A connector includes: a housing; and a short-circuit terminal. A deformable portion is configured to deform in a direction of moving away from the terminal during housing of the terminal and to deform in a direction of moving closer to the terminal when the housing of the terminal is finished. The short-circuit terminal has, as different portions, a contact point portion to contact with the two or more terminals and a push target portion to contact with the deformable portion. The short-circuit terminal is configured to reduce its pressure of contact toward the terminal at the contact point portion, during the housing of the terminal, due to a movement of the push target portion along with the deformable portion.

Connector and wire harness

One of a pair of connectors of a spring type connector includes an inner housing, an outer housing, a gap defined between the inner housing and the outer housing, retaining mechanisms, and a spring. The retaining mechanism includes a pair of abutting members provided on the inner housing and the outer housing, and a cushioning member provided between the pair of the abutting members.

Spring type connector

There is provided a waterproof connector structure which includes a pair of connector housings. An opening end portion of a cylindrical body of one connector housing is inserted into an opening end portion of a cylindrical body of another connector housing at the time of fitting. One cylindrical body has a projection part which is provided to protrude outward in a radial direction from the opening end portion thereof entirely in a circumferential direction. The projection part is provided on a front side in a fitting direction from an opening part of a terminal receiving chamber surrounded by the one cylindrical body.

Waterproof connector structure and method for producing connector housing

The connector includes an inner housing, an outer housing, a locking mechanism for locking, a spring member that pushes back the inner housing during half fitting, and a pushback regulating position that regulates a pushback position. The pushback regulating portion includes a claw portion, a stepped portion against which the claw portion abuts, and a sliding load portion that makes a sliding friction force between the inner housing and the outer housing at a predetermined timing before abutting to be larger than the sliding friction force before the predetermined timing.

Connector

A connector includes: a first connector which includes a tubular outer housing and an inner housing in which a plurality of first terminals are provided; a second connector which includes a bottomed tubular counterpart housing in which a plurality of second terminals are provided; and an elastic member which is provided in the outer housing and urges the inner housing toward a front side of the first connector in a fitting direction. The inner housing is moved by the elastic member to the front side in the fitting direction at the time of fitting.

One of a pair of first terminals includes a spring member of which one end is supported by the first housing. A contact portion that contacts one of a pair of second terminals is formed on a free end of the spring member. A lock arm abuts against the spring member to displace the contact portion, and brings the contact portion into contact with one of the second terminals at the time of locking. The other of the first terminals has a contact portion that contacts the other of the second terminals when the connectors are fitted, and is disposed apart from one of the first terminals.

Connector fitting detection structure and connector

A meter device is disposed on an upper surface of a fuel tank that is disposed between a steering handlebar and a rider's seat. The meter device includes a dial substrate having a scale and a pointer that is rotated by a drive portion and points to the scale corresponding to a measurement output. The pointer includes a ridge that extends in a longitudinal direction and a spine portion having two surfaces that cross each other so as to form the ridge. An angle &#x3b2;, at which the two surfaces forming the ridge cross each other, is formed into an acute angle, so that a side farther from the ridge as viewed from a side of a rider is not visible.
