Abstract:
The present invention restricts unauthorized access to signals without using electrical power. A second connector is configured for connection to a first connector. The first connector includes multiple first pins and a first short circuit member. The first short circuit member short-circuits a group of the first pins in an unconnected state in which the first connector is not connected to the second connector. The second connector includes multiple second pins and a short circuit canceling member. The second pins are in contact with the first pins in a connected state in which the first connector is connected to the second connector. In the connected state, the short circuit canceling member causes the first short circuit member to undergo deformation and cancels short-circuiting of the group of first pins.

Claim (Index 5):
A connector comprising:\n a plurality of first pins; and a short circuit member that short-circuits a group of the first pins, and, due to connection of the connector to a partner connector that is a connection target of the connector, deforms and cancels short-circuiting of the group of the first pins wherein the partner connector comprises:\n second pins that come into contact with the first pins in a connected state in which the connector is connected to the partner connector; and \n a short circuit canceling member that, in the connected state, causes the short circuit member to undergo deformation and cancels short-circuiting of the group of the first pins by the short circuit member, \n the short circuit member is in contact with the first pins in an unconnected state in which the connector is not connected to the partner connector, the short circuit canceling member has an insulating characteristic, and enters a space between the short circuit member and at least one of the first pins in the connected state, the connector further comprises:\n a main body member that fixes the first pins and the short circuit member, \n the main body member has an inner circumferential side surface that faces the first pins via a gap, and the short circuit member has one end that is fixed to the inner circumferential side surface, extends toward a side opposite to the partner connector while extending from the one end toward the first pins, and is in contact with the first pins in the unconnected state.
