ABSTRACT:
In order to prevent a connector capable of keeping a short-circuited state released even if a movable member for releasing a short-circuited state is disengaged, (+)- and (-)-supply terminals 4 are short-circuited by a short-circuit terminal 5 in an apparatus side connector housing 2. When a movable member 3 is rotated to its locking position, the apparatus side connector housing 2 is coupled with a supply side connector housing 1. Simultaneously, a pressing portion 33 presses the short-circuit terminal 5, thereby releasing the short-circuited state, with the result that an apparatus can be connected in an operative state. An elastic locking portion 56 of the short-circuit terminal is engaged with an engaging projection 15. Thus, even in the event where the movable member 3 is disengaged, the short circuit state can remain released since the engaging projection 15 acts to hold the short-circuit terminal 5 out of contact with the supply terminals 4.
