PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charging connector holding structure capable of easily and stably holding a charging connector.SOLUTION: A charging connector 1 comprises locking claw operation means 12 for operating a locking claw 9 to make variable the width of an entrance part 11 to a space 10 formed between the locking claw 9 and a charging terminal part 8. An automobile charging device 2 comprises a lock member 13 for locking and holding the locking claw 9 in a freely rotatable manner within the space 10. The lock member 13 is inserted into the space 10 and within a rotatable range of the charging connector, a maximum value (A) of a height specified in the direction of a perpendicular line drawn upwards from a top face of the charging terminal part while defining a contact with the charging terminal part 8 as an origin is larger than a minimum width (Y) of the entrance part 11 which is maintained when locking the locking claw 9 and the lock member 13 and is smaller than a maximum width (X) of the entrance part 11 formed by operating the locking claw operation means 12 when unlocking the locking claw 9 and the lock member 13. |
