Abstract

A detector circuit for coupled connectors is provided with one connector housing, the other connector housing and a lock confirming slider. A sensor circuit terminal and a short-circuiting terminal are oppositely arranged in respect to the one connector housing and the lock confirming slider. Springs are arranged between the terminals. The lock confirming slider is moved forward by the springs when both connector housings are completely fitted to each other. Thus, the sensor circuit terminal and the short-circuiting terminal are contacted to each other.
