Abstract (en)

An object of the present invention is to enable a shorting terminal to be mounted at a proper position in a connector housing. A connector is provided with a plurality of terminal fittings 40, a shorting terminal 10 for shorting corresponding terminal fittings 40, and a connector housing 50 for accommodating the terminal fittings 40 and the shorting terminal 10. The shorting terminal 10 includes a contact piece 17 formed by bending and pushed at the time of insertion into the connector housing 50 and a supporting piece 21 formed by bending and held in contact with the contact piece 17 from a side opposite to a push-in direction into the connector housing 50. When a jig for pushing the shorting terminal 10 is pressed against a pushable surface 19 of the contact piece 17, the contact piece 17 can be prevented from being inclined in the push-in direction to be deformed by being supported by the supporting piece 21.
