Abstract:
1. An electronic device adapted for receiving an electrical power signal, comprising: a first control circuit capable of generating a control signal; and an electrical connector assembly including wherein in a process of connecting said first connector and said second connector, said electrical connector assembly is disposed sequentially in a first state and a second state; wherein in the first state, said first electrical power contact pad is in electrical contact with said second electrical power contact pad, said first grounding contact pads are respectively in electrical contact with said second grounding contact pads, and said first control contact pads are respectively in electrical contact with said second and third control contact pads, such that said second control circuit is electrically connected to said first control circuit and said detecting circuit; wherein in the second state, said first electrical power contact pad remains in electrical contact with said second electrical power contact pad, said first grounding contact pads respectively remain in electrical contact with said second grounding contact pads, and said first control contact pads respectively remain in electrical contact with said second and third control contact pads such that said second control circuit remains electrically connected to said first control circuit and said detecting circuit, and said second detecting contact pad forms a circuit loop with said first detecting contact pads and said third detecting contact pad such that the trigger signal is transmitted from said second detecting contact pad through the loop to said detecting circuit for said detecting circuit to generate a detecting signal based on the trigger signal and transmit the detecting signal to said second control circuit through the electrical contact between said third control contact pad and a respective one of said first control contact pads; and wherein when said electrical connector assembly is in the second state, and when said first control circuit generates the control signal, said second control signal receives the control signal from said first control circuit through the electrical contact between said second control contact pad and a respective one of said first control contact pads, and controls said switch unit to switch from the non-conducting state to the conducting state based on the control signal and the detecting signal, wherein when said switch unit is in the conducting state, the electrical power signal is transmitted to said first control circuit through the electrical contact between said first and second electrical power contact pads.
