Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connector includes a plurality of terminal units. The terminal unit includes a terminal main body, a plug cap having the terminal main body inserted therein, fitted with a counterpart connector, and formed in a cylindrical shape, and a contact passing between the terminal main body and the plug cap. The contact includes a first connecting portion having a first abutting portion abutting on an outer circumferential surface of the terminal main body and a second connecting portion having a second abutting portion abutting on an inner circumferential surface of the plug cap. At least either the first connecting portion or the second connecting portion is a spring member movably biasing the plug cap in a perpendicular direction to a fitting direction with the counterpart connector in a state in which electric connection to the terminal main body is maintained.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A connector comprising: a plurality of terminal units, wherein the terminal unit includes: a terminal main body; a cylindrical plug cap having the terminal main body inserted therein and fitted with a counterpart connector; and a cylindrical contact that passes between the terminal main body and the plug cap, wherein the contact includes: a first connecting portion having a first abutting portion abutting on an outer circumferential surface of the terminal main body; and a second connecting portion having a second abutting portion abutting on an inner circumferential surface of the plug cap, and wherein at least either the first connecting portion or the second connecting portion is a spring member that movably biases the plug cap in a perpendicular direction to a fitting direction with the counterpart connector in a state in which electric connection to the terminal main body is maintained. 2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion is a spring member that biases the terminal unit in the perpendicular direction to the fitting direction with the counterpart connector. 3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein, in the terminal unit, a tip end of the terminal main body is protruded further on a tip end side in the fitting direction with the counterpart connector than the plug cap, and wherein the terminal unit further includes a terminal cap attached to the tip end of the terminal main body to prevent the plug cap from coming off. 4. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein, in the terminal unit, a tip end of the terminal main body is protruded further on a tip end side in the fitting direction with the counterpart connector than the plug cap, and wherein the terminal unit further includes a terminal cap attached to the tip end of the terminal main body to prevent the plug cap from coming off.
