Abstract
A connector holding mechanism includes a biasing member provided in a through hole formed in a bottom plate of a storage body, a cover having a connector insertion hole and an inclined surface which is fixed to the through hole, a connector, in which a terminal is loosely inserted into the connector insertion hole, and a flange portion protruding from an outer periphery of the housing biased by the biasing member. When the connector is waiting to be fitted to a stored object, the connector is held in a posture where the terminal is inclined due to abutment between the inclined surface and the flange with respect to a virtual line perpendicular to the bottom surface, and when the connector is fitted to the stored object, the connector is held in a posture where the terminal is vertical along the virtual line.
