ABSTRACT:
A connector apparatus has a first connector, a second connector to be mated with and unmated from the first connector, and a mating detecting member for detecting a mated state and an unmated state of the first and the second connectors. The first connector has a lock lever to be engaged with the second connector. The mating detecting member has a detecting portion for detecting the mated and the unmated states, a holding portion for locking the mating detecting member at a standby position, and an operating portion for locking the mating detecting member at an assurance position. The detecting portion has a locking portion to be engaged with the lock lever. The holding portion is displaced in a direction different from the mating and the unmating directions to be engaged with the first connector.
