Abstract
A connector structure that can ensure connection is provided. In the connector structure, a bus bar and a plate-like terminal mate with each other to establish an electric connection. A lower-side inner surface as a first inner surface defining the opening is provided with a plurality of conductive rotary members that rotate in a direction substantially perpendicular to a direction in which the plate-like terminal is inserted. It is also provided with a frame member that holds the rotary members and that is connected to the bus bar. The rotary members are twisted relative to the frame member and thereby biased relative to the plate-like terminal. By the plate-like terminal being inserted into and pulled out from the bus bar, the rotary members receive force from the plate-like terminal and rotate within a plane substantially perpendicular to a direction in which the plate-like terminal is inserted and pulled out.
