ABSTRACT:
A bolt provided on a female connector housing is tightened relative to a nut, provided on a male connector housing, displacing the two connector housings relative to each other in a connecting direction, thereby fitting them together. An upwardly-extending, bar-like projection portion is provided on the male connector housing. A detection member is provided in an insertion hole formed in the female connector housing. When the two connector housings are displaced relative to each other in the connecting direction, the projection pin and the detection member cooperate to indicate a fitting-completed condition, enabling easily perceived completion of the connection. Alternatively, the male and female connector housings include electrically engageable sensing elements that indicate the fitting-completed condition.
