<p>A connector has a shell and a detection terminal. The shell is formed with a spring portion, which has a front end of a fixed end and extends rearwards. The spring portion includes a pressed portion and a contact portion. The pressed portion is pressed by a mating connector upon insertion of the mating connector into the connector along a front-rear direction. The contact portion is movable in a predetermined direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction. The shell and the detection terminal distinct and separated from the shell form a detection switch. A state of the detection switch is changed due to the movement of the contact portion in the predetermined direction when the pressed portion is pressed by the mating connector, so that the insertion of the mating connector is detected.</p> |
