In the power supply circuit connection device 10 of the embodiment, the low-voltage male contact 26 and the high-voltage male contact 30 have the same shape, and the low-voltage female contact 28 is disposed at a position deeper than the high-voltage female contact 32. As a result, the connection between the low-voltage male contact 26 and the low-voltage female contact 28 is released before the connection between the high-voltage male contact 30 and the high-voltage female contact 32 is released, as shown in FIG. As shown in the modified male connector 22B and female connector 24B, the low-voltage male contact 26
B may be shorter than the high voltage male contact 30B. In this case, the low-voltage female contact 28B and the high-voltage female contact 32B can be arranged to receive from the same position.

In the connection device 10 of the power supply circuit of the embodiment, the connection between the low-voltage male contact 26 and the low-voltage female contact 28 is released by providing the lock mechanism 36, but the high-voltage male contact 30 and the high-voltage female Although the connection with the contact 32 is maintained, the operation force required for pulling out the male connector from the female connector causes the connection between the low-voltage male contact 26 and the low-voltage female contact 28 to be released. May be increased in a state where the connection between the high-voltage male contact 30 and the high-voltage female contact 32 is maintained, and may be pulled out in two stages.
FIGS. 5 and 6 show schematic configurations of a male connector 22C and a female connector 24C of a modified example as an example of this case. As shown, a substantially hemispherical convex portion 37a is formed on the upper surface of the connection end of the male connector 22C of the modified example, and a slight elasticity is formed on the upper surface near the connection end inside the female connector 24C of the modified example. The engaging portion 37b as a slight bulge is formed of a deformable material. In this modification, the shape of the cross section of the engaging portion 37b of the female connector 24C is slightly smaller but smaller than the shape of the cross section of the convex portion 37a of the male connector 22C.
When the connector is inserted into or pulled out from the female connector 24C, a relatively large operation force is required at a portion where the convex portion 37a comes into contact with the engaging portion 37b. As shown in FIG. 6, at the position where the convex portion 37a contacts the engaging portion 37b, the connection between the low-voltage male contact 26C and the low-voltage female contact 28C is released, but the high-voltage male contact 30C and the high-voltage male contact 30C are disconnected. The connection with the female contact 32C is maintained. Therefore, the male connector 22C and the female connector 24C of this modification can perform the same operation as the male connector 22 and the female connector 24 of the embodiment, and can provide the same effect.

Also, a plurality of grooves perpendicular to the direction in which the male connector 22 is pulled out may be formed in the engaging portion 37b so that the sliding resistance between the convex portion 37a and the engaging portion 37b is increased or the engaging portion 37b is easily caught.
