Abstract
A connector includes a connector housing that includes a plurality of terminal accommodation chambers, a terminal that is accommodated in the terminal accommodation chamber, a retainer portion that holds the accommodated terminal in the terminal accommodation chamber, a short circuit terminal that makes at least two of the accommodated terminals be in a short-circuited state by coming into contact with the two accommodated terminals, and a sub-housing on which the short circuit terminal is mounted. The connector housing includes a fitting portion to which the sub-housing is fitted in a direction orthogonal to a fitting direction of the connector housing to a counterpart connector housing, and the retainer portion is formed at a position of holding the terminal and the short circuit terminal is mounted at a position at which the short circuit terminal comes into contact with the terminals.
