ABSTRACT:
When two electrical connector housings are being fitted together, a locking arm 7 is bent, thereby bending a short-circuiting terminal 11 and bringing it into a non-contacting state with respect to a detecting terminal 8. When the fitting has been completed, the locking arm 7 returns to its original position, and the short-circuiting terminal 11 makes contact with the detecting terminal 8. This short-circuiting terminal comprises first spring members 15 and second spring members 16. The second spring members 16 have pressed members 16b which are pushed down by the locking arm 7, this causing driving members 16c to slide along the first spring members 15, thereby exerting a pressing force at a location closer to the contact members 15b. Improved travel of the short circuiting terminal 11 is thereby effected.
