Abstract
A connector comprising a male and female housing, in which one wall of the female housing is provided with an arrangement of slits having specific widths and spacings which, in combination with a layer of black paint provided on the side wall of the male housing that faces to slits, define a bar code. By having this feature, the fitting state of the male and female housings can be determined and the connector can be identified by type with the use of a bar code reader.
