ABSTRACT:
A connector for making electrical connection between electrical terminals held in each of a female electrical terminal member and a male electrical terminal member of the connector by mechanically connecting both the female electrical terminal member and the male electrical terminal member. Both of the female electrical terminal member and the male electrical terminal member of the connector are attached to solid structures directly, instead of being attached to tip portions of flexible electric cables extended from outside of the solid structures. The solid structures are parts such as auto-parts or a partial assembly composed of a plurality of the parts or a body such as a body of an automobile which are to be assembled together and which have a larger size than the size of the connector. One of the male electrical terminal member and the female electrical terminal member of the connector includes at least one guide-pin protruding forwardly therefrom, whereas another includes at least one guide-hole for accepting and guiding the at least one guide-pin of thereinto. At least one of the male electrical terminal member and the female electrical terminal member of the connector is attached slightly movably to the solid structure.
