ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is equipped with a device for detecting the mating and unmating of the male an female parts of the connector. The male part has an integral latchpiece and a pair of terminal pins connected to an associated detector circuit for detecting the mating of the male and female pars of the electric connector. The female part has an integral counter latching projection and an electrical conductor mounted on the counter latching projection for electrically connecting the pair of pins upon the mating-and-looking of the male and female parts. The counter latching projection functions as switching means responsive to the mating and unmating of the male and female parts of the electrical connector permitting the detector to detect the mating and unmating of the male and female parts.
