Patent ID: 10158196

Abstract:
A connector includes a first housing (10) with two detection terminals (13), a resilient deflecting portion (37) in a second housing (30), a shorting terminal fitting (60) in the second housing (30), wiping portions (68) integrally formed to the shorting terminal fitting (60) and configured such that the detection terminals (13) slide in contact therewith in the process of connecting the first and second housings (10, 30), and a resilient contact piece (62) integrally formed to the shorting terminal fitting (60) and configured to be resiliently displaced to a retracted position, where the resilient contact piece is not in contact with the detection terminals (13), as the resilient deflecting portion (37) is resiliently deflected and resiliently return to a short-circuit position, where the resilient contact piece contacts the detection terminals (13), and short the detection terminals (13) as the resilient deflecting portion (37) resiliently turns.
