The switch includes a base body side connector and a movable body side connector for connecting electrical circuits provided in a base body side and a movable body side of a motor vehicle. One of the base body side connector and the movable body side connector has a receptacle terminal while the other has a pin tab terminal. The other connector has a terminal cover piece for receiving an electrical contact portion provided in a free end side of the pin tab terminal. The terminal cover piece is slidable in engagement and disengage directions of the terminals. The terminal cover piece is urged by a resilient member parallel to an extended direction of the pin tab terminal. The resilient member is positioned between a flange of the terminal cover piece and a bottom surface of a housing of the movable body side connector.

Power supply switch of motor vehicle

A connection structure for power supply to a vehicle door including a door side connector,a body side connector,a plurality of female terminals,provided in parallel in either one of the connectors, and a plurality of male terminals,corresponding to the female terminals provided in parallel in the other of the connectors, the female terminals,and the male terminals,being connected to each other when the door is closed, the female terminals,being arranged close to one another and synchronously swingable around a support shaft,in a direction of axial displacement with respect to the male terminals,The connection structure further includes a spring member,for forcing a pair of contact portions,of each of the female terminals,into a closed state, the spring member,including a pair of leg portions,which are in abutment against spring receiving walls,of a housing,of either one of the connectors. With this structure, the connectors,and,can be downsized in both width and length, and the axial displacement of the terminals will be avoided.
