ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetic detachable connector includes a pair of female and male connectors. Each of female and male connectors includes a movable section and a fixed section. Each movable section includes a row of terminals that can be connected with those of another movable section, and a guide that can be fitted with that of the another movable section. The fixed sections are relatively fixed so as to have respective movable sections face each other. A permanent magnet and an electromagnet are arranged at a predetermined position of the female and male connectors. Exerting an electromagnetic force on the permanent magnet so that the movable sections move in a direction so as to come closer to or farther away from each other achieves a drive control for connection and disconnection. With this structure, an electromagnetic detachable connector is provided that can control, automatically and with high precision, the connection and disconnection between the female and male connectors.
