Abstract:
A detection circuit assembly having at least one first housing and at least one second housing that can be fit properly in a specified position relative to each other; and a pair of detection terminals provided on each of said first and second housings, the detection terminals of said first and second housings being in an unconductive state when said first and second housings are not fit properly relative to each other, and the detection terminals of said first and second housings being in a conductive state when said first and second housings are fit properly relative to each other,a slide displaceably mounted on said first housing, said slide having a short-circuit terminal mounted in said slide, said slide and said short-circuit terminal being displaceable in unison between a conductive position at which said short-circuit terminal contacts both said detection terminals of said first housing for placing said detection terminals in said conductive state; and an unconductive position at which said short circuit terminal is spaced from said detection terminals of said first housing for placing said detection terminals in said unconductive state; and an urging member for urging said slide and said short-circuit terminal in said slide to said unconductive position when said first and second housing are not fit properly relative to one another.
