<p>A connector with a short circuit has in its insulator body (13) a contact piece housing compartment (14) open at the front, the front half portion of a fixed contact piece (15) extending forward in the contact piece housing compartment and the rear half portion being received and fixed in the insulator body. An insulating engaging portion (16a) is provided which extends a predetermined length forwardly of the front end of the fixed contact piece. A movable contact piece (17) is disposed with its rear end portion received and fixed in the insulator body in side-by-side relation to the fixed contact piece, the front end portion of the movable contact piece extending forwardly of the insulating engaging portion. The intermediate portion of the movable contact piece is bent so that it makes elastic contact with the fixed contact piece. When the mating connector is inserted into this connector, an insulating engaging portion or movable contact piece of the former is displaced out of contact with its fixed contact piece and then the tip of the movable contact piece of the latter slides over the insulating engaging portion of the mating connector and gets into contact with its fixed contact piece.</p> |
