PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an opening/closing structure of a cap capable of suppressing momentum when the cap is opened, and suppressing fluttering of the cap when the cap is opened, with a simple configuration, and to provide a charging connector.SOLUTION: An opening/closing structure 1A of a cap 4 is configured so that a face 48 of an inlet damper 42A in a rotary axis direction, and a lateral face 30A of a first support 26A maintain a facing state during rotation of the cap 4. A protrusion 44A is provided on the face 48, a recess 29A is provided on the lateral face 30A, and the protrusion 44A and the recess 29A engage with each other at an open position. An inlet damper spring 43A energizes so that the protrusion 44A and the recess 29A engage with each other at an open position, and abut on the facing lateral face 30A in non-engagement state. When the protrusion 44A is at the open position, two inclined planes 441 facing each other in a rotary direction abut on an end 292A of the recess 29A.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】簡単な構成で、キャップが開くときの勢いを抑制し、キャップが開ききったときのばたつきを抑えることができるキャップの開閉構造および充電用コネクタを提供する。【解決手段】キャップ４の開閉構造１Ａは、インレットダンパー４２Ａの回動軸方向の面４８と、第一支持部２６Ａの側面３０Ａとが、キャップ４の回動時において対向状態を維持するように構成される。面４８には凸部４４Ａが設けられ、側面３０Ａには凹部２９Ａが設けられており、凸部４４Ａと凹部２９Ａとが開位置において係合するように構成する。インレットダンパースプリング４３Ａが、凸部４４Ａと凹部２９Ａとが開位置において係合し、かつ、凸部４４Ａと凹部２９Ａとが非係合状態において、対向する側面３０Ａに当接するように付勢する。凸部４４Ａが、開位置において、回動方向に対向する２つの傾斜面４４１が凹部２９Ａの端部２９２Ａに当接する。【選択図】図３
