To improve connector installation density and utilize space effectively, a cable-equipped connector is capable of coupling separation-prevention lock screws at any position around the other connector. The cable-equipped connector includes a connector body, a cable connected to a rear of the connector body, an insulating synthetic resin housing that covers a connecting portion, a mounting block disposed so as to be rotatable with respect to the housing, and lock screws that rotatably engage through-holes formed in both ends of the mounting block.

Disclosed is an improved electric connector having depressible probe pins each comprising movable and stationary contact pieces. The movable contact piece comprises a front projection and a rear convergence integrally connected to the front projection. The probe pin is press-fitted in a selected pin slot in the insulating casing of the electric connector, allowing the front projection to partly appear from the selected pin slot. The stationary contact piece has two opposite arms extending from its base. The opposite arms of the stationary contact piece pinch the convergence of the movable contact piece, and withdrawal of the front projection of the movable contact piece causes the opposite arms to yieldingly open wide enough to allow the convergence of the movable contact piece to invade therebetween. The parallel-arrangement of current-carrying passages provided by the bifurcate stationary contact piece has the effect of increasing the current conducting capacity of the electric connector.
