Abstract
A connector includes: a housing; and a short-circuit terminal. A deformable portion is configured to deform in a direction of moving away from the terminal during housing of the terminal and to deform in a direction of moving closer to the terminal when the housing of the terminal is finished. The short-circuit terminal has, as different portions, a contact point portion to contact with the two or more terminals and a push target portion to contact with the deformable portion. The short-circuit terminal is configured to reduce its pressure of contact toward the terminal at the contact point portion, during the housing of the terminal, due to a movement of the push target portion along with the deformable portion.
