Abstract:
A connector for making electrical connection between electrical terminals held in each of a female electrical terminal member and a male electrical terminal member of said connector by mechanically connecting both said female electrical terminal member and said male electrical terminal member, said connector comprising:both of said female electrical terminal member and said male electrical terminal member of said connector being attached to solid structures directly, instead of being attached to tip portions of flexible electric cables extended outside of said solid structures, said solid structures composed of a plurality of parts or a body to be assembled together and having a larger size than a size of said connector;wherein any one of said female electrical terminal member and said male electrical terminal member of said connector includes two guide pins protruding forwardly therefrom, whereas another includes two guide holes for accepting and guiding said two guide pins thereinto;said two guide pins and two guide holes being positioned diagonally across each of the electrical terminal members so as to force the terminal members to perform a two dimensional self alignment; andat least one of said female electrical terminal member and said male electrical terminal member of said connector is slightly movably attached to one of said solid structures by bolts, each of said bolts being inserted in a cylindrical through hole of said solid structure and being surrounded by a cylindrical collar in said cylindrical through hole, a length of said cylindrical collar being slightly larger than a length of said cylindrical through hole and an outer diameter of said cylindrical collar being slightly smaller than an inner diameter of said cylindrical through hole.
