<p>An electrical connector with a function of detecting interfitting engagement of connector housings includes first and second connector housings (4, 10) fitted one into the other into interfitting engagement, a plurality of pairs of terminals (6 , 15) disposed in the respective connector housings (4, 10) and electrically connected together upon the interfitting engagement of the first and second connector housings (4, 10), a short-circuiting terminal (14) usually urged so as to make a short circuit between at least two of the terminals (15) disposed in the second connector housing (10), an actuator (12) displacing the short-circuiting terminal (14) upon the interfitting engagement of the first and second connector housings (4, 10) so that the short-circuiting terminal (14) is departed from the terminals (15) disposed in the second connector housing (10), and a pair of interfitting engagement detecting terminals (6a) disposed in the first connector housing (4) so that a short circuit is made between them by the short-circuiting terminal (14) when it has been displaced. <IMAGE></p> |
