Abstract
The present application provides an interlocking mechanism capable of preventing misassembly of interlocking terminals. A connector-side interlocking terminal composed of a gate-shaped terminal having a pair of leg portions, a unit-side interlocking terminal composed of a pair of plate-shaped terminals opposed to the leg portions, and a compression spring configured to generate a repulsive force between the gate-shaped terminal and the plate-shaped terminal are housed inside a housing main body. In a state where an electric connector is not connected, the gate-shaped terminal and the plate-shaped terminal are separated by the repulsive force of the compression spring, and the interlocking is in an open state. On the other hand, if the electric connector is to be connected, a pressing portion provided in the connector comes into abutment with the gate-shaped terminal, and is further pressed in by overcoming the repulsive force of the compression spring, thereby connecting the electric connector, and the gate-shaped terminal and the plate-shaped terminal come into contact, and the interlocking becomes a closed state.
