じ忘れを防止することもできる。Further, according to the battery pack B and the connector A of the present invention, as the battery pack B is inserted into the connector A, the pressing projection 10 engages with the concave portion 25 of the terminal cover 17 so that the terminal cover 17 When the battery 19 is pushed to the open position and the battery pack B is pulled out from the connector A, the pressing projection 10 pulls the terminal cover 19 to the closed position. Therefore, also in this case, the terminal 17 is not exposed until immediately before insertion into the connector A, so that the short circuit between the terminals 17 and 17 can be prevented, and the trouble of opening and closing the terminal cover 19 can be omitted. It is also possible to prevent forgetting to close 17.
