Abstract:
1. A connector engagement body comprising: a first connector comprising a first signal terminal, and a first power supply terminal; a second connector comprising a power supply terminal locking portion, a signal terminal locking portion, a second signal terminal configured to be connected with the first signal terminal of the first connector when the second connector is mated with the first connector, and a second power supply terminal configured to be connected with the first power supply terminal of the first connector when the second connector is mated with the first connector; and a lever comprising a signal terminal releasing portion, a power supply terminal releasing portion, a power supply terminal locked portion configured to be locked to the power supply terminal locking portion of the second connector, and a signal terminal locked portion configured to be locked to the signal terminal locking portion of the second connector, the lever being configured to be engaged with the first connector and the second connector, and to cause a mating force and a separating force to act between the first connector and the second connector by moving between a mated position and a separated position relative to the first connector and the second connector, wherein when the lever is positioned in the mated position, the signal terminal locked portion is locked to the signal terminal locking portion with the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal connected with each other and the first power supply terminal and the second power supply terminal connected with each other, when the lever is positioned in a predetermined middle position between the mated position and the separated position, the first power supply terminal and the second power supply terminal are connected with each other and the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal are separated from each other, when the lever is positioned in the separated position, the first power supply terminal and the second power supply terminal are separated from each other and the first signal terminal and the second signal terminal are separated from each other, when the lever is positioned in the mated position, applying a force to the signal terminal releasing portion disengages the signal terminal locked portion from the signal terminal locking portion, thereby allowing the lever to be rotatable to the predetermined middle position, and when the lever is positioned in the predetermined middle position, applying a force to the power supply terminal releasing portion disengages the power supply terminal locked portion from the power supply terminal locking portion, thereby allowing the lever to be rotatable to the separated position.
