<p>The invention provides an electrical connector with a reduced number of components and improved operability. As a fitting detecting member 40 is moved from a detecting position to a waiting position, releasing members 52 of a short-circuit releasing member 50 return, due to their own resilient returning force, from a short-circuit releasing position to a position allowing short-circuiting to occur. A separate means is not required to return the releasing members 52 to the position allowing short-circuiting to occur. Consequently, the number of components required is reduced. After two housings 10 and 20 have been fitted together, moving the fitting detecting member 40 from the waiting position to the detecting position pushes the releasing members 52 from the position allowing short-circuiting to occur to the short-circuit releasing position. That is, both the detecting operation of the fitting detecting member 40 and the short-circuit releasing operation of the short-circuit releasing member 50 are performed with a single action, thereby improving operability. <IMAGE></p> |
