A connector includes a first housing accommodating first terminals, a second housing accommodating second terminals connectable to the first terminals and fittable to the first housing, short-circuit terminals accommodated in the first housing and each having a pair of contact pieces that respectively come in contact with corresponding first terminals adjacent to each other, releasing parts provided in the second housing and configured so as to displace the contact pieces, thereby releasing contacts between the first terminals and the contact pieces, tin plating films formed on respective contact surfaces of the first terminals and the contact pieces coming into contact with each other, and sliding parts provided in the second housing and positioned ahead of the releasing parts in a fitting direction between the first housing and the second housing to displace the contact pieces thereby allowing the contact pieces to slide on the first terminals.
1. A connector, comprising:
a first housing accommodating a plurality of first terminals;
a second housing accommodating a plurality of second terminals connectable to the first terminals and fittable to the first housing;
one or more short-circuit terminals accommodated in the first housing and each having a pair of contact pieces that extend through the first housing to corresponding first terminals and thereby respectively come in contact with the corresponding first terminals;
one or more releasing parts provided in the second housing and each of the one or more releasing parts configured so as to displace corresponding ones of the contact pieces, thereby releasing contacts between the first terminals and the contact pieces;
tin-plating films formed on respective contact surfaces of the first terminals and the contact pieces coming into contact with each other; and
one or more sliding parts provided in the second housing and positioned ahead of the releasing parts in a fitting direction between the first housing and the second housing to displace the contact pieces, thereby allowing the contact pieces to slide on the first terminals.
2. The connector of claim 1 , wherein:
at least one of the one or more sliding parts is configured to be positioned between the pair of contact pieces of a corresponding short-circuit terminal of the one or more short-circuit terminals.
3. The connector according to claim 1 , wherein the contact pieces are adjacent to each other, and
the corresponding first terminals are adjacent to each other.
