Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the detection precision of the connector insertion drift regardless of the width and arrangement interval of connector terminals by changing the arrangement of connector insertion drift detecting terminals, and changing the width of the contact portions with mating connection terminals. CONSTITUTION:Contact portions of connector insertion drift detecting terminals 4a, 4b among terminals 4a-4f of a male connector are arranged displacedly from mating connection terminals 3a, 3b in opposite directions, i.e., to increase the interval. An electric signal application section 5 for detecting the connector insertion drift, an electric signal detection section 6 for detecting the connector insertion drift, and a wire 7 for connecting the connector terminals 4a, 4b are provided. The connector insertion drift can be precisely detected.

Next, the operation will be explained. With the female connector 1 and the male connector 2 connected, the electric signal output from the electric signal application unit 5 for detecting connector insertion deviation of the female connector 1 is applied from the terminal 3a of the female connector 1 to the terminal 4alC of the male connector 2.
In addition, another terminal 4b of the connector 4 is connected through the wiring JII7.
When the other terminal 3bK of the female connector 1 is returned, if the applied signal can be detected by the electrical signal detection unit 7 for detecting connector insertion deviation, it is determined that the connector has been inserted normally, and if no electrical signal is detected, the connector is correctly inserted. It is determined that it has not been inserted.

Conventional connectors are obtained as described above, so
When detecting connector insertion misalignment using the above-mentioned mechanism (when the width of each connector terminal itself is greater than or equal to the width between adjacent connectors, the insertion misalignment is greater than or equal to the width of the connector terminals) Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the terminal 4a comes into contact with both the terminals 3a and 3b, and the electrical signal applying section 5 for detecting insertion misalignment and the electrical signal detecting section 6 become conductive, indicating that the connector is inserted normally. There was a problem in that it was determined to be normal even though it was not.
