1. A connector fitted with a shorting terminal, comprising:
a connector housing having plural terminal accommodating chambers capable of accommodating plural. terminals, and the shorting terminal which is attached to at least one of the plural terminal accommodating chambers and makes contact with at least two accommodated terminals to set the two terminals in a shorted state, wherein when the connector fitted with the shorting terminal fits with a mating connector housing, a short-cancellation member formed on the mating connector housing makes contact with the shorting terminal and the shorting terminal is deformed to cancel the shorted state, the shorting terminal includes a substrate part fixed to the terminal accommodating chamber, and an elastic member which is cantilevered in the substrate part and being elastically deformable relatively to the substrate part, the elastic member comprises a connecting part folded in a curved shape, a pair of abutting parts, each of the abutting parts being independently capable of elastic deformation and including a shorting part capable of making contact with each of the two terminals, and a cancellation part that cancels the shorted state by making contact with the short-cancellation member when the connector fitted with the shorting terminal fits with the mating connector housing, the cancellation part is formed in a position. nearer to the connecting part than the shorting part, and the shorting terminal is formed in a U shape as a whole with the elastic member cantilevered in the substrate part via the connecting part. |
