ABSTRACT:
This invention aims to protect an electrical element supported in an electrical connector and prevent electrical conduction between electrodes. A lead metal fixture 20 is jacketed by a lead metal fixture cover 12 along with a connector portion 11 in the electrical connector 11 so as to cover portions of the fixture 20 for supporting a reed switch 30. Thus, it is possible to prevent a distal end of the lead metal fixture 20 from being bent such that electrodes 21 and 22 contact with each other when the electrical connector is attached to a reservoir tank. It is also possible to prevent a load from applying directly to the reed switch 30, thereby protecting it from breakage.
