CONNECTOR

To provide a connector capable of smoothly suppressing a half fitted state of housings while suppressing costs.SOLUTION: A male housing 70 comprises a short-circuit terminal 81 which is in contact with male terminals 75 and conducts the male terminals 75 with each other. The short-circuit terminal 81 includes: an elastic presser 83 which is pressed and elastically deformed by a female housing 20 which is fitted, such that resilience for separation from the male housing 70 is applied to the female housing 20; and a contact 93 which is provided in the elastic presser 83 and brought into contact with the male terminal 75. The contact 93 is disposed at a position out of the male terminal 75 by the elastic deformation of the elastic presser 83 at the time of complete fitting of the male housing 70 and the female housing 20.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】コストを抑えつつ、ハウジング同士の中途嵌合状態を円滑に抑制できるコネクタを提供すること。【解決手段】オスハウジング７０は、オス端子７５に接触されてオス端子７５同士を導通させるショート端子８１を備え、ショート端子８１は、嵌合されるメスハウジング２０によって押圧されて弾性変形することで、オスハウジング７０から離脱させる反発力をメスハウジング２０に付与する弾性押圧片８３と、弾性押圧片８３に設けられ、オス端子７５に接触する接点９３と、を備え、接点９３は、オスハウジング７０とメスハウジング２０との完全嵌合時における弾性押圧片８３の弾性変形によってオス端子７５から外れた位置に配置される。【選択図】図８
