| 1. A terminal structure, comprising:
a first connector that is arranged at a first member and that has a plurality of pins;
a second member that is movable toward and away from the first member and that is opposed to the first member;
a second member side bolt arranged at the second member;
a second connector that has a plurality of pins and a flange portion through which the second member side bolt passes and
which is movable with respect to the second member side bolt while the second connector is being fit-engaged with the first
connector to electrically connect the pins of the second connector and the pins of the first connector; and
an elastic member that elastically retains the flange portion and that produces an elastic force resisting a push-back displacement
which acts on the second connector at the moment of fit-engagement with the first connector in a direction parallel to the
axis of the second member side bolt and in a direction inclined at an angle from the direction parallel to the axis of the
second member side bolt.
