ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR INCLUDING A CONNECTOR HAVING A FIT DETECTION PORTION
First Claim
1. An electrical connector, comprising:
- a first connector comprising a first interlock terminal, a first connecting terminal, and a first interlock connector for holding the first interlock terminal; and
a second connector comprising a second interlock terminal electrically connected to the first interlock terminal, and a second connecting terminal engaged with the first connecting terminal,wherein the second connector further comprises;
a second interlock connector which is engaged with the first interlock connector and holds the second interlock terminal, and is arranged inside the second connector and is slidable in a longitudinal direction; and
a fit detecting portion movable in conjunction with the second interlock connector for detecting a fit state of the first connector and the second connector, andwherein the second interlock connector is connected to the fit detecting portion via a rod which has a thickness in the width direction which is less than a thickness of the second interlock connector.
