Patent ID: 8277259

Claim:
A connector, comprising: a first terminal housing with a plurality of first joining terminals aligned and accommodated therein; a second terminal housing with a plurality of second joining terminals aligned and accommodated therein; a stacked connection structure that, when the first terminal housing and the second terminal housing are mated together, the plural first connecting terminals and the plural second connecting terminals face each other to form pairs, respectively, and the isolating plates, the first connecting terminals and the second connecting terminals are disposed alternately; a plurality of isolating members aligned and accommodated in the first terminal housing, the plural isolating members being disposed on other surfaces of the plural first joining terminals, respectively; a connecting member for pressing and thereby collectively fixing the plural first joining terminals and the plural second joining terminals at the contacts therebetween respectively, to electrically connect the first joining terminals and the second joining terminals, respectively; and a covering member slidably provided to cover the connecting member, to maintain the pressing force of the pressed connecting member at a specified or greater pressing force that assures the stable connections between the first joining terminals and the second joining terminals, respectively, the covering member being provided in such a manner that it is not slidable to cover the connecting member until the pressing force of the connecting member reaches the pressing force that assures the stable connections between the first joining terminals and the second joining terminals, respectively.
