Connector provided with combination detection unit

Abstract

The present invention provides a connector provided with a combination detection unit. The connector can detect whether two connectors are completely jointed, can make the two connectors thin in the thickness direction, can raise setting number and free degrees for setting position of contacts acting as detecting objects. The connector provided with the combination detection unit is characterized in that: when one connector is inserted into the other connector, if a contact part (212) is not completely contained in a containing space (112), an action sheet (223) can push a contact sheet (113) towards the side far away from a center (112a) of the containing space in the direction of width through a guiding sheet (126), so as to prevent the contact part from contacting with a contact (113a); and if the contact part is completely contained in the containing space, the action sheet is pulled away relative to the guiding sheet towards a reverse jointing direction of the first connector, thus the contact sheet may reset to an original position, then the contatc part can contact with the contact.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electrical connectors, and relates to a pair of electrical connectors having a function of detecting whether the electrical connectors are completely fitted with each other. Background technique [0002] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-167971 discloses a connector having a detection unit. That is, on the premise of a connector having a detection unit, the connector is configured to include: a pair of first and second housings that can be fitted and detached from each other; and control circuits respectively provided in the first and second housings First and second contacts for detecting the mating and locking of the first and second housings; first and second contacts for detecting the mating and locking of the first and second housings; The first and second locking portions for engaging and disengaging, the first locking portion is provided on a rod, and the rod faces the second locking portion from...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, in the above-mentioned thickness direction, it is necessary to ensure a space for the displacement of the above-mentioned rod, the above-mentioned pushing protrusion, and the above-mentioned elastic tongue piece, so the volume of the two connectors in the above-mentioned thickness direction is relatively large.

[0004] In addition, since the elastic tongue piece of the first contact member for the detection circuit is pressed by the pressing protrusion of the rod, only one contactor for the detection circuit can be provided on one side of the rod in the thickness direction. The number and location of the first contacts used for the above-mentioned detection circuit are limited.
