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 which has a detecting piece corresponding to the terminal, and which is arranged for inspecting the connector by moving the connector receiving portion and the inspecting portion toward/away from each other. At least 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/away from the first. When either of the receiving or inspecting portions is rotated, such a 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 inspecting operation.
