Abstract
A connector structure (CS) includes an adapter () to be fitted to an opposing connector () that includes opposing terminals () in parallel with each other and a connector () to be fitted to the adapter () in a fitting direction (X). The connector includes a connector housing (), a center terminal (), and an outer terminal (). The center terminal () includes a center terminal portion () with a central axis (C) extending in the fitting direction. The outer terminal () includes a cylindrical outer terminal portion () that concentrically encloses the center terminal portion (). The adapter () includes an adapter housing (), a first intermediate contact (), and a second intermediate contact (). The adapter housing () and the connector housing () are rotatable relative to each other about the central axis (C). The first intermediate contact () includes a first contact piece portion () to come into contact with an outer peripheral surface () of a protruding portion () of the center terminal portion () and a second contact piece portion to come into contact with one of the opposing terminals. The second intermediate contact () includes a third contact piece portion () to come into contact with an outer peripheral surface () of the outer terminal portion () and a fourth contact piece portion () to come into contact with one of the opposing terminals.
