Patent ID: 7959470

Claim:
A connector, comprising: a first terminal housing with a plurality of first connecting terminals aligned and accommodated therein; a second terminal housing with a plurality of second connecting terminals aligned and accommodated therein; a plurality of insulation members aligned and accommodated in the first terminal housing, wherein when the first terminal housing and the second terminal housing are fitted to each other, the plurality of first connecting terminals and the plurality of second connecting terminals face each other to form pairs, respectively, and a stacked state is exhibited such that pairs of the first connecting terminals and the second connecting terminals are alternately interleaved with the plurality of insulation members; a connecting member comprising a head and a shaft connected to the head, the shaft penetrating contacts between the plurality of first connecting terminals and the plurality of second connecting terminals and the plurality of insulation members, the head pressing an adjacent insulation member, to thereby collectively fix the plurality of first connecting terminals and the plurality of second connecting terminals at the contacts for electrical connections therebetween, at least a portion of the connecting member, which penetrates the contacts, being comprised of a nonconductive material; wherein the shaft and/or the head comprises a first screw part to screw the connecting member into the first terminal housing and/or the second terminal housing, the shaft comprises a second screw part to screw into an insulation member of the plurality of the insulation members at a forward end in an insertion direction of the connecting member, the second screw part comprising a screw pitch greater than the first screw part, and when the first terminal housing and the second terminal housing are fitted to each other and then tightened by the first screw part of the connecting member and the insulation member screwed into by the second screw part is tightened toward the head by the second screw part, the plurality of first connecting terminals and the plurality of the second connecting terminals are collectively fixed and electrically connected at the contact.
