Abstract:
A connector assembly, comprising:a first connector and a second connector movable along a connecting directions from an unconnected condition to a fully connected condition; a slider linearly movable on the first connector between an initial position and a connection position in a moving direction aligned at an angle to the connecting directions of the two connectors; cam means between the slider and the second connector for moving the first and second connectors into the fully connected condition as the slider is moved from the initial position toward the connection position; a detecting member displaceable between a standby position and a detection position; and a movement detecting means for keeping the detecting member at the standby position before the slider reaches the connection position and permitting a displacement of the detecting member to the detection position only after the slider reaches the connection position so that movement of the detecting member to the detection position confirms movement of the first and second connectors to the fully connected condition.
