ABSTRACT:
A connector formed with a first portion on the connector positioned differently according to a kind of the connector. The first portion is, for example, the forward end of a terminal or a cutout formed on the housing of the connector. At least one multicontact switch pin is fixedly arranged on a carriage base in a direction such that the probe pin of the multicontact pin extends towards the first portion. The switch pin has at least two contacts and a probe pin projecting outwardly of the multicontact switch pin. Each of the contacts is connected to a corresponding test circuit. The probe pin is adapted to move into and/or out of contact with the contacts when the probe pin is pushed inwardly into the multicontact switch pin. The carriage base is moved by a predetermined distance towards the connector to allow the probe pin to engage the first portion so that the probe pin moves into and/or out of contact with said contacts. Continuity in the test circuits is checked to determine the position of the first portion in a direction in which the probe pin moves towards the first portion.
