AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing connector systems for in-vehicle devices are complex and costly due to their electronic components, making it difficult to simplify the configuration and improve communication security.

Method used

A connector system with a signal blocking section and a cut-off limiting section that uses a stub filter or conductive member to block or allow signals based on the connection of authorized or unauthorized connectors, allowing for secure communication with a simplified configuration.

Benefits of technology

The system effectively enhances communication security by blocking unauthorized connections while allowing authorized ones, thereby improving security with a reduced and more affordable configuration.

Abstract

This connector system is used for a communication line connecting the communications between a first communication unit and a second communication unit, and connects a first communication line on the first communication unit side and a second communication line on the second communication unit side. The connector system includes: a first connector to which one end of the first communication line is connected and which includes a signal interruption unit for interrupting a signal in a band used for communication; and a second connector to which one end of the second communication line is connected and which is connected to the first connector. The second connector includes an interruption restriction unit for restricting the interruption of a signal in the band by the signal interruption unit by connection with the first connector.
