Abstract
A connector housing ( ) of the connector device ( ) is composed of an outer housing ( ) to be mounted onto a printed circuit board ( ) by screwing, and an inner housing ( ) connected to the outer housing ( ) so as to be movable in the right and left direction with respect to the outer housing ( ). Into the inner housing ( ), there is incorporated a terminal ( ) including a connecting portion ( ) to be connected by a terminal ( ) of a mating connector device ( ), a spring portion ( ), and a switch contact ( ) respectively formed integral with the terminal ( ). On the printed circuit board ( ), there is disposed an electrode ( ) with which the switch contact ( ) can be elastically contacted. Thanks to this structure, by switchingly moving the inner housing ( ) in the right and left direction, circuit switching can be achieved.
