Abstract
A connector inspecting apparatus includes (i) a connector receiving portion for holding a connector which is to be inspected and which has a terminal and (ii) an inspecting portion having a detecting piece corresponding to the terminal. The inspecting apparatus is arranged for inspecting the connector by moving the connector receiving portion and the inspecting portion toward and away from each other. One of the connector receiving portion and the inspecting portion is rotatably attached to a base. The other of the receiving portion and the inspecting portion is so guided as to be moved toward and away from the rotatably attached portion. When either of the receiving or inspecting portion is rotated, such rotational movement is converted into a sliding movement of the other portion. Accordingly, by rotating one of the portions, the connector can be inspected. This not only reduces the space required for installing the connector inspecting apparatus, but also facilitates the inspection operation.
