Provided with a first connector part to connect a first cable, a second connector part to connect a second cable, and to fit with a first connector part, thereby ensuring electrical connection between a first cable and a second cable, and a housing to hold a second connector part rotatably around an axial direction of a second cable.
1. A connector, comprising:
a first connector part to connect a first cable;
a second connector part to connect a second cable and to fit with the first connector part, thereby ensuring electrical connection between the first cable and second cable; and
a housing to hold the second connector part rotatably around an axial direction of the second cable;
wherein in a state that the first connector part fits with the second connector part, the first connector part and second connector part are rotatable with respect to the housing,
wherein:
the first connector part comprises a male electrode to connect the first cable, and a cylindrical part provided around the male electrode;
the second connector part comprises a female electrode to connect the second cable, and a columnar part provided with the female electrode inside, and housed in the cylindrical part; and
the housing includes a housing part to house the columnar part without restricting rotation of the columnar part around the axial direction.
2. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the columnar part is provided with an annular flange extending outward in a radial direction, and the housing has a through-hole to pass through the columnar part in a state that a part of the columnar part is inserted into the housing part, and is provided with a fixing plate to place the annular flange on the surface of the housing.
3. The connector according to claim 2 , wherein the one housing holds a plurality of the second connector parts, a plurality of the first connector parts is provided to fit with each of the plurality of the second connector parts, and one the fixing plate is provided with a plurality of the through-holes corresponding to the number of the plurality of first connector parts.
