Abstract:
A connector (10) includes a terminal supporting body (30) and a terminal covering body (50) slidable relative to each other. Male terminal fittings (20) are supported in the terminal supporting body (30), and each has a male tab (21). A housing (70) has an accommodating portion (71) to accommodate the terminal supporting body (30) and the terminal covering body (50), and a receptacle (72) surrounds the male tabs (21). The terminal covering body (50) slides between a protection position and an exposed position relative to the male tabs (21). The accommodating portion (71) has a contact stop (75) that stops the terminal covering body (50). The terminal supporting body (30) slides to displace the terminal covering body (50) from the protection position to the exposed position when a sufficient force is applied with the terminal covering body (50) stopped in contact with the contact stop (75).
