Patent ID: 7264506

Claim:
A terminal-movable connector comprising: a terminal that includes one end portion having a bolt insertion hole through which a mating terminal can be fixed to the one end portion by a bolt, and the other end portion to which a distal end portion of a wire is connected; a housing that receives the terminal and the distal end portion of the wire in such a manner that the one end portion of the terminal is exposed and that the terminal and the distal end portion of the wire are disposed generally linearly; a first support member which is disposed within the housing, and is fixed to the terminal, interposed between the housing and the terminal, slidable in a direction of an axis of the distal end portion of the wire within the housing; and a second support member which is disposed in the housing, and supports the terminal in a manner to allow the terminal to be moved in the axial direction of the distal end portion of the wire, and has a nut which is aligned with the bolt insertion hole of the terminal, wherein at the time when the bolt is passed through a bolt insertion hole of the mating terminal and the bolt insertion hole of the terminal and is screwed into the nut, the bolt is moved in a direction generally parallel to the axial direction of the distal end portion of the wire.
