Abstract:
A charging connector that facilitates a routing operation of an electric cable and is unlikely to cause contact failure between a connection terminal and an electric cable is provided. The charging connector has a housing having socket portions extending along an axial direction, connection terminals accommodated in terminal receptacle portions formed radially inward of the socket portions, and a rotation regulator structure operable to regulate rotation of the connection terminals about their axes with respect to the socket portions. The connection terminal includes a plug connection portion to which a terminal of the charging plug can be connected and a terminal coupling portion located at an opposite side of the plug connection portion in the axial direction. The fixture terminal is coupled to the terminal coupling portion. The rotation regulator structure includes terminal engagement portions formed in the connection terminal and socket engagement portions formed on the socket portions.
