Abstract
A bolt-tightened connector has a first half connector body and a second half connector body that fit together. A bolt is rotatably attached to the first half connector body. A nut is secured to the second half connector body. An approximately V-shaped single piece plate spring is attached at an intermediate region of the bolt inside the first half connector body. When the connector bodies are fit together, a screw portion of the bolt passes through the nut and the bolt freely turns. Also, the plate spring is compressed and a base end of the screw portion of the bolt is pulled toward the nut by the repulsion force. A harness fixing piece for restricting and securing the drawing direction of the wire harness may also be provided at the first half connector body and be secured to the harness fixing piece by taping.
