Abstract:
1. A connector, comprising: a first housing including two detection terminals; a second housing connectable to the first housing; a resilient deforming portion formed on the second housing and configured to be resiliently deformed in the process of connecting the first and second housings and to restore resiliently when the first and second housings are connected properly; a detection unit in the second housing and including two connecting portions that are connected electrically conductively to the detection terminals when the first and second housings are connected properly and detection contacts for releasing a shorted state of the connecting portions by being set to an off-state as the resilient deforming portion is deformed resiliently and shorting the connecting portions by being set to an on-state as the resilient deforming portion is restored resiliently; and catch preventing means for preventing foreign matter from being caught at the detection contacts when the first and second housings are separated.
