ELECTRIC CONNECTOR, CONNECTION OBJECT UNIT, AND CONNECTION OBJECT UNIT ASSEMBLY
First Claim
1. An electric connector that is attached to a connection object, mated with a first connector attached to a first electric wire to thereby electrically connect the first electric wire to the connection object, and mated with a second connector attached to a second electric wire to thereby electrically connect the second electric wire to the connection object, the electric connector comprising:
- a contact; and
a housing that is attached to the contact, the housing comprising;
a first retaining portion that prevents the first connector mated with the electric connector from being disengaged from the electric connector; and
a second retaining portion that prevents the second connector mated with the electric connector from being disengaged from the electric connector, whereinthe contact comprises;
a first contact portion having a flat plate shape and is capable of being in electrical contact with the first connector;
a second contact portion having a flat plate shape and is capable of being in electrical contact with the second connector; and
a third contact portion having a flat plate shape and is capable of being in electrical contact with the connection object,a thickness direction of the first contact portion and a thickness direction of the second contact portion are substantially perpendicular to a thickness direction of the third contact portion, anda direction in which the first connector is mated with the electric connector is different from a direction in which the second connector is mated with the electric connector.

Abstract
A pin connector includes a pin contact and a pin housing. The pin contact includes: an upper contact portion having a flat plate shape and being in electrical contact with an upper socket connector; a lower contact portion having a flat plate shape and being in electrical contact with a lower socket connector; and an electrode contact portion having a flat plate shape and being in electrical contact with a battery. A thickness direction of the upper contact portion and a thickness direction of the lower contact portion are substantially perpendicular to a thickness direction of the electrode contact portion. A direction in which the upper socket connector is mated with the pin connector is different from a direction in which the lower socket connector is mated with the pin connector.
