CONNECTOR FOR ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE

摘要

This connector (1) for electrical connection for electrically driven vehicle includes: a contact portion (43) configured to electrically connect an electric cable (CB1), electrically connected with one of an electrically driven vehicle (2) or a power apparatus (3), with the other; and a main body (41). The main body (41) houses therein the contact portion (43), a power cutoff portion (10) and a first abnormality detector (12). The power cutoff portion (10) is configured to switch opening/closing of a feed line between the electrically driven vehicle (2) and the power apparatus (3). The first abnormality detector (12) is configured to detect an abnormality that occurs in the feed line, or externally receive an abnormal signal. The power cutoff portion (10) is configured to open the feed line, when the first abnormality detector (12) detects the abnormality or receives the abnormal signal. The first abnormality detector (12) is configured to detect, as the abnormality, at least one of a short-circuit current in the feed line and an overload current in the feed line.
