  • Publication number: 20240313457
    Abstract: A connector is disclosed which can improve a contact pressure between terminals while suppressing terminal wear at the time of inserting and withdrawing the connector. A connector is provided with a housing having a mating terminal insertion region, a terminal accommodated in the housing to face the mating terminal insertion region, and a contact pressure applying component to be accommodated into the housing and holdable at a first position facing the terminal and a second position in contact with the terminal. A mating terminal is insertable into the mating terminal insertion region with the contact pressure applying component held at the first position. The contact pressure applying component contacts the terminal and presses the terminal toward the mating terminal inserted into the mating terminal insertion region with the contact pressure applying component held at the second position.
