CONNECTOR AND CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY
First Claim
1. A connector connectable with a mating connector having a mating contact, the connector having a current sensor function and comprising:
- a contact extending along a front-rear direction to have a front end portion which is connectable to the mating contact;
a protection member made of an insulating material, the protection member surrounding the contact in a plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction;
a core having a gap and surrounding the protection member in a plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction; and
a current detection member arranged, at least in part, within the gap.

Abstract
This connector can be connected to a counterpart connector having a counterpart contact, and is provided with an electric current sensor function. Specifically, the connector is provided with a contact, a protective member composed of an insulating material, a core, and an electric current detection member. The contact extends along the longitudinal direction so as to have a longitudinal part that can be connected to the counterpart contact. The protective member surrounds the contact in the plane orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. The core surrounds the protective member in the plane orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. The core has a gap. The electric current detection member is at least partially disposed within the gap.
