Abstract
A protective wall (42), formed in a unified manner, rises to a specified height from the posterior end of a base face (41) of a detecting chamber (40). A short-circuiting terminal (50) is inserted into the detecting chamber (40) from the anterior, a base member (51) thereof striking against the protective wall (42), thus fixing and maintaining the position of the base member (51). A retainer (60), retains the short-circuiting terminal (50) in a specified position and in an unremovable state. Foreign objects attempting to enter the detecting chamber (40) from the posterior will strike against the protective wall (42). The protective wall (42) via a sealing cover (43), also regulates the travel of the locking arm (30) and thus the terminal (50).
