ABSTRACT:
A switch-equipped connector device, comprises: a case having an opening; a cover to be removably mounted on the case so as to cover the opening; a first connection terminal on the side of load and a second connection terminal on the side of a power supply, a connection portion between which is exposed from the opening, and which are held in the case; a short-circuiting terminal attached to the cover; a switch connector located in said opening, the switch connector to be electrically connected to the short-circuiting terminal in the opening, the short-circuiting terminal being disconnected from said switch connector when the cover is removed from the case; and a switching device connected to the second connection terminal through the power supply, the switching device interrupting power supply to the second connection terminal when the cover is removed from the case. In the above configuration, the switching device is operated when the short-circuiting terminal is electrically disengaged from the switch connector in a removed state of the cover so that power supply to the second connection terminal is interrupted. Therefore, when the cover is detached from the case for maintenance of the connector device, an operator can remove the connection terminal on the side of a power supply with safety without receiving electric shock.
