<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connector of various electronic devices mainly in an automobile capable of ensuring insertion-extraction and prevention of detachment into and from a stationary connector with a simple constitution, a short depth and a small size, and a rotation angle detection apparatus using it. <P>SOLUTION: An elastic locking part 14 is formed into an approximate T-shape comprising a crosspiece part 14A connecting both ends of a housing 11, and a pressing part 14B extending backward from an approximate center of the crosspiece part 14A. A pawl part 14C is provided to the pressing part 14B spaced from the crosspiece part 14A by a predetermined interval. As a result, when the connector is inserted in a stationary connector 16, both ends of the crosspiece part 14A of the elastic locking part 14 are supported, and the center part is flexed downward, and a rear part of the pressing part 14B is flexed downward. The elastic locking part 14 is elastically deformed as desired, so that the length of the elastic locking part 14 can be reduced, so as to reduce the depth in the forward and backward direction of the connector 15. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
