An electrical connector with an inserting side comprises an insulation body, a plurality of conductive terminals received in the insulation body, a housing shielding the insulation body, and a detecting apparatus. The insulation body includes a main body portion, a connecting portion protruding toward the inserting side from the main body portion, and a detecting room provided on the upper portions of the main body and the connecting portion. The main body portion of the insulation body comprises a front surface facing the inserting side and a rear surface opposite the front surface. The housing comprises a rear cover shielding the rear surface. The detecting apparatus comprises a detecting terminal which comprises a retaining portion, and further comprises a pushing portion and a soldering portion respectively connecting to the retaining portion. As a connection is made, the pushing portion of the detecting terminal is moved against the rear cover of the housing so that the electrical connector can confirm whether the counterpart connected to it is in proper electrical connection. The detecting apparatus can prevent the insertion of the counterpart from having an uncertain connection. Therefore, the connection between them is stable so that any damage to the counterpart resulting from improper operation is prevented. |
