Considering the case where a modem device is connected using a 232C port connect device, a first connect part provided on the main body of the portable personal computer and a second connect part provided at the end of the interface cable. Since it fits, the handheld personal computer main body is held down by one hand and the second connecting portion is positioned by the other hand for the fitting, and the second connecting portion is fixed to some extent. It has been found by the inventor that it has to be pushed hard and the joining operation is relatively cumbersome. Then, in order to improve it, a study was made to combine the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion by the attractive force of the magnet. It has been clarified that the contacts of the 2-connect unit may be reversely coupled in a state of being rotated 180 degrees from the state of being directly opposed, and such incorrect coupling may cause a failure of the personal computer and external peripheral devices.

Consider a case where the connecting section 11 and the second connecting section 12 face each other. When the state in which the same contact numbers (P1 to P24) are in contact with each other is a state where they face each other, in this state, the magnets facing each other between the connecting portions 11 and 12 have different polarities, so that the attractive force by the magnetic force It works, and the two connecting parts 11 and 12 are connected. As a result, the peripheral device connected to the other end of the interface cable 13 in FIG. 1, for example, a communication modem (not shown) and the portable personal computer 10 are coupled. The plurality of contacts enables exchange of predetermined signals according to the RS-232C interface standard. First connection unit 11 and second
Since the connection with the connecting portion 12 is due to the attractive force of the magnetic force, when the second connecting portion 12 is brought close to the first connecting portion 11, the connecting force is easily obtained due to the attractive force of the magnet, and an appropriate external force is applied. Therefore, the connected state can be easily released, so that the connection device can be easily attached and detached.

誤りに気付くことができる。Here, as shown by 14 in FIG. 1, when the second connecting portion 12 is rotated by 180 degrees and is to be connected to the first connecting portion 11, as shown in FIG.
As is clear from the above, since the opposing magnets have the same polarity, a repulsive force is generated between them,
Reverse coupling of the connecting device is prevented. Further, at the time of the coupling operation, the repulsive force is felt by the hand holding the second connecting portion 13, so that the operator can immediately notice an error in the coupling direction of the connecting device.

By setting the polarity of the magnet so that an attractive force is generated between the connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12,
In the state where they do not face each other, since the opposing magnetic poles have the same polarity, a repulsive force is generated between them and the reverse coupling of the connector is prevented.

As in the case of the above-mentioned embodiment, the first connecting portion 11 is an RS-232C port, although not particularly limited, but the personal computer body is slightly recessed from the rear panel surface of the portable personal computer 10. Installed on. By such mounting, a recess is formed in the mounting portion of the first connecting portion 11, so that when the second connecting portion 12 is joined, the arrows 15, 16 are formed.
There is no need to make a slight deviation in direction. That is, since the tip edge portion of the second connecting portion 12 is fitted in the concave portion, the displacement between both connecting portions is eliminated, and a sufficient contact area of the contact can be secured.

合防止）。In FIG. 4, all contacts of the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12 do not generate magnetic force. Instead, elongated permanent magnets are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction, and the attracting force of the elongated permanent magnets causes the connecting portions 1 to be connected to each other.
1, 12 are connected. Although not particularly limited, in the first connecting portion 11, permanent magnets 21 and 22 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction. The exposed portion of the permanent magnet 21 has N polarity, and the exposed portion of the permanent magnet 22 has P polarity. Similarly, in the second connecting portion 12, permanent magnets 23, 24 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction. The exposed portion of the permanent magnet 23 has N polarity, and the exposed portion of the permanent magnet 24 has P polarity. Thereby, when the second connecting unit 12 is coupled to the first connecting unit 11, the first connecting unit 11 and the second connecting unit 12 can be brought close to each other with the connecting units 11 and 12 facing each other to some extent.
Since the permanent magnets facing each other have different polarities, an attractive force is generated between them and the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12 are coupled to each other. Further, as shown by an arrow 14 in FIG. 1, when the second connecting portion 12 is rotated by 180 degrees, the opposing permanent magnets have the same polarity, so that the repulsive force acting between them causes the first connecting portion 12 to rotate. 11
And the second connecting unit 12 are not coupled (prevention of reverse coupling).

A DC power supply 19 and a coil 17 are connected in series to the contacts P11 and P12 in the first connecting section 11. The coil 17 is not particularly limited, but is a coil of the electromagnet when an electromagnet is applied instead of the permanent magnets 21 and 22 in FIG. 4, and a magnetic force is generated by energizing the coil. Further, in FIG. 5, the diode 20 is connected to the contacts P12 and P24 in the second connecting portion 12.

When the second connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 12 are in direct contact with each other,
Strictly speaking, when the contacts P12 and P24 in the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 12 are brought into contact with each other, a closed loop is formed, and a current from the DC power supply 19 flows in the direction indicated by the arrow 18. As a result, the coil 17 is energized and magnetic force is generated from the electromagnet. In this case, a permanent magnet, an iron piece, or the like is provided in the second connecting portion 12 at a position corresponding to the electromagnet, as shown in FIG. The combined state of the 1-connect unit 11 and the second-connect unit 12 is retained. However, the first connection unit 11 and the second
In the state where the connecting portion 12 does not face directly, the diode 2
Since 0 is reversely biased, the coil 17 is not energized, and the attractive force by the electromagnet is not generated. Even in this case, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be obtained.
