ABSTRACT:
An opposed-contact connector (11) in which terminal contacts are prevented from projecting from the connector except when they are to be electrically contacted with their respective mating electrodes, and the terminal contacts can be projected to have an appropriate contact pressure only when they are electrically contacted with the mating electrodes, respectively. The opposed-contact connector (11) includes a housing (13), terminals (51) received in the housing in such a manner that contacts (53) of the terminals project from a front portion of the housing, a spacer (15) slidably mounted on the front portion of the housing so as to enclose the contacts, and a spacer provisionally-retaining device (27,39) provided between the spacer and the housing, and before the housing is mounted on a mounting member (55), the spacer is provisionally retained on the housing by said retaining device in such a manner that the spacer encloses the contacts, and when mounting the housing on the mounting member, the retaining device releases the provisionally-retained condition, and allows the spacer to slide.
