Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A connector device includes: a first connector including a first housing; and a second connector including a second housing. When the first housing is not oriented in a direction in which the first housing is fitted into the second housing, the first housing becomes fitted into the second housing after rotation. The first connector includes a third connector attached to the first housing. The third connector has a third housing including a cylindrical portion. The first housing can move relative to the cylindrical portion between a pre-fit position and a fit-rotation position. The first housing and the cylindrical portion of the third housing are provided with: a rotation block portion to block rotation of the first housing relative to the cylindrical portion while at the pre-fit position; and a rotation guide portion to guide the rotation of the first housing relative to the cylindrical portion while at the fit-rotation position.
