ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for detecting an unlocked state of connectors is provided. An interfering portion for interfering with a slider which is not pushed in is formed on a mating component to which a component having first and second connectors is attached. The locking plate of the slider is provided with an inclined portion and a flat portion in a direction perpendicular to the connector engagement direction. The second connector is provided with an inclined surface corresponding to the inclined portion, a flat surface corresponding to the flat portion, and an insertion opening adjacent to the flat surface for accommodating the locking plate. When the flat portion is completely in contact with the flat surface, the length of the protruding portion of the slider is the same as the width of the clearance between the second connector and the interfering portion. When the inclined portion slides along the inclined surface so that the terminals of the connectors are separated from each other, the length of the protruding portion of the slider is the same as the width of the clearance. A side surface of the interfering portion faces to the operation surface of the pushed-in slider.
