ABSTRACT:
A connector disconnection sensing mechanism of a switch connector for switching a circuit by connecting or disconnecting the connector, wherein operation sensitivity is improved when the connector is disconnected. The connector disconnection sensing mechanism includes a resilient disconnection sensing arm with a projection attached to one of mateable connector halves; and a guide projection attached to the other connector half. The guide projection has an engagement face with a gentle slope and a falling face with a steep slope which contact the projection of the resilient disconnection sensing arm in that order when either one of the mateable connector halves is drawn out, wherein the projection of the resilient disconnection sensing arm is positioned on the side of the falling face of the guide projection when the mateable connector halves are disconnected.
