1. A rotary connector comprising:
a first connector housing comprising:
a first housing body which has a circular outer circumference shape in cross section and which houses a first terminal fitting therein; anda connection pin provided to protrude radially outward from the first housing body; and a second connector housing comprising:
a second housing body which has a circular outer circumference shape in cross section, into which the first housing body is fitted, and which houses a second terminal fitting connected to the first terminal fitting;an axial groove which is formed by a cut to extend along a direction of a central axis of the second housing body from an end portion of the second housing body on the first connector housing side, and which allows the connection pin to enter therein when the first housing body is fitted into the second housing body along the direction of the central axis of the second housing body;a circumferential groove which is arranged to extend circumferentially toward one circumferential side of the second housing body from a distal end of the axial groove, and which allows the connection pin to move therein when the second housing body and the first housing body are rotated relatively to each other; anda lock portion which is provided to protrude into the circumferential groove, and which contacts the connection pin from a start end side of the circumferential groove to restrict the connection pin from moving in a return direction in a state in which the connection pin arrives at a distal end of the circumferential groove, wherein when a pressing force which is not lower than a predetermined value to act toward the start end side of the circumferential groove is given to the lock portion from the connection pin positioned at the distal end of the circumferential groove, the lock portion allows the connection pin to move toward the start end side of the circumferential groove. |
