Patent ID: 11848520

Abstract:
An electrical connection structure comprises a base member, a connector, and a mating connector. The electrical connection structure comprises a half-fitting detecting mechanism including a half-fitting detecting portion in the connector and a short-circuiting member in the mating connector. The half-fitting detecting portion includes a conductive member and an inspecting member. The half-fitting detecting portion allows a half-fitting state to be detected by the short-circuiting member being in non-contact with the inspecting member when in the half-fitting state. The inspecting member short-circuits with the conductive member via the short-circuiting member by the mating engaging portion of the short-circuiting member being engaged with the engaging portion of the connector and being in contact with a contact part of the inspecting member and the short-circuiting member being in contact with the conductive member when in a normal fitting state.
