Abstract
A connector includes connector terminals having elastically deformable contact portions to be contacted with device terminals of a connection counterpart side device, a housing to which the connector terminals are assembled, a rotary member that is rotatable with respect to the housing, and a motion direction conversion mechanism that converts a rotary motion of the rotary member to a linear motion to move the housing in a direction of a rotation axis of the rotary member and brings the contact portions in pressure contact with the device terminals. As the motion direction conversion mechanism, at least one protrusion is formed on one of an outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical portion of the housing and the rotary member and at least one helical groove engaging with the protrusion is formed on the other thereof.
