Connector, a shorting terminal and a method of assembling it

摘要

A plurality of male terminal fittings (17) and a shorting terminal (23) can be accommodated into a male housing (10). The shorting terminal (23) has a main portion (27), resilient contact pieces (28) for contacting the male terminal fittings (17), and pushable pieces (29) to be pushed for inserting the shorting terminal (23) into the male housing (10). The pushable pieces (29) are bent at the main portion (27) such that plate surfaces thereof extend along a pushing direction of the shorting terminal (23). The male housing (10) has receiving portions (30) for receiving the pushable pieces (29) to restrict a depth to which the shorting terminal (23) is pushed.
