ABSTRACT:
A circuit board connector housing (10) includes slide contacts (19) arranged before contact areas (16) of detecting terminals (15A) with respect to a connecting direction. The slide contacts (19) contact touching portions (30) of shorting terminals (27) during a connecting operation of two housings (10, 20). The slide contacts (19) remove foreign matter from the touching portions (30) during the connecting operation of the two housings (10, 20). Thus, extra efforts to remove foreign matter are not needed before the housings (10, 20) are connected. The absence of foreign matter on the touching portions (30) achieves good quality contact with the contact areas (16) of the detecting terminals (15A) and assures reliability of a connection detecting function.
