Patent ID: 7351084

Claim:
A connector comprising: at least two terminal fittings; a connector housing having terminal-receiving chambers for receiving the terminal fittings; and a short-circuit terminal for electrically connecting the two terminal fittings to each other, wherein when the connector is connected to a mating connector, at least one of connections between the short-circuit terminal and the two terminal fittings is canceled, wherein the short-circuit terminal includes: a fixed part to be fixed to the connector housing; a resilient contact piece, one end of which is continued to the fixed part, and extended from the fixed part toward the mating connector, the other end of which is a free end and resiliently contacts one of the two terminal fittings; and a contact regulating part for preventing a deformation of the resilient contact piece so that the other end of the resilient contact piece is not projected toward the one of the terminal fittings.
