ABSTRACT:
A support member to support elastic terminals is incorporated in a body so that the support member is made slidable in the longitudinal direction of the body. The support member has higher and lower base surfaces provided longitudinally in parallel to each other on the outer surface of the support member to support the elastic terminals. Also, the support member is biased by a spring so that the support member is pushed forward. An operating member integrated with or integrally connected with the support member so as to make a slide motion in the longitudinal direction is incorporated with the outer surface of the body such that the front end of the operating member is located ahead of terminal portions of the elastic terminals projected from the body, and the height of projected terminal portions of the elastic terminals is automatically switched over by the operation of inserting the car plug into a socket for a cigar lighter.
