Vehicle-side connector

摘要

A vehicle-side connector (10) is connected to a battery mounted in a vehicle and is configured so that a charging connector (50) connected to a charger is connectable thereto from the front. The vehicle-side connector (10) includes a forwardly open lock fitting (22) configured so that a tip part of a lock arm (54) in the charging connector (50) is fit therein from the front. A locked portion (25) in the lock fitting (22) is formed by mounting a metal lock plate (25B) on a base (25A). The lock plate (25B) is made of metal and is configured so that the tip part of the lock arm (54) is to be locked thereto. A mounting hole (25C) for mounting the lock plate (25B) from behind is formed on a back wall (22B) of the lock fitting (22) and a cover (15) is provided to close the mounting hole (25C).
