ABSTRACT:
A connector is provided to independently perform connection detection and short releasing functions. The connector includes a connection detecting member 55 and a separate short releasing member 50. A connector is assembled by fitting a female connector housing 21 into a male connector housing 11, mounting the connection detecting member 55 and then mounting the short releasing member 50. The connected state of the connector housings 11, 21 is detected based on whether or not the connection detecting member 55 can be mounted on the female connector housing 21. If the short releasing member 50 is mounted after the two connector housings are properly connected, the shorted state of male tabs 13 is released in the male connector housing. Since the connection detecting member 55 and the short releasing member 50 are such separate members as to be independently mountable and detachable, both the connection detection and the short releasing can properly be performed.
