Abstract
An electric connector for use with an automotive slide door is shown, which comprises a first connector part adapted to be mounted to a vehicle body and a second connector part adapted to be mounted to the door. The first connector part includes a first nonconducting casing, a first conducting contact pin axially movably received in the first casing, a conducting piece axially movably received in the first casing in front of the first contact pin, and a spring for biasing the conducting piece in a direction away from the first contact pin. The second connector part includes a second nonconducting casing and a second conducting contact pin carried by the second casing. When the door is manually moved in a closing direction to a slightly open given position, an exposed end of the second contact pin contacts and pushes the conducting piece toward the first contact pin against the force of the biasing means and finally brings the conducting piece into contact with the first contact pin.
