ABSTRACT:
A multi-input first connector for use with a mating connector wherein the first connector includes a connector housing; first, second, third, and fourth terminals disposed in the connector housing; a first connecting device for connecting the first terminal with the second terminal; a second connecting device for connecting the third terminal with the fourth terminal; and a connect-and-disconnect device. The connect-and-disconnect device connects a first terminal group with a second terminal group in a first state in which the mating connector is uncoupled from the first connector, and for disconnecting the first terminal group from the second terminal group in a second state in which the first connector is coupled together with the mating connector. An intrusive insulating portion of the mating connector disconnects the terminal groups by electrically separating them in the coupled state. The first terminal group includes a plurality of terminals including at least the first and second terminals, and the second terminal group includes a plurality of terminals including at least the third and fourth terminals.
