Title:
ELECTRIC CONNECTOR, ELECTRIC CONNECTOR UNIT, AND BATTERY CHARGER FOR ELECTRIC AUTOMOBILE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2012099254
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide an electric connector which can be miniaturized more easily, and has higher accuracy for detecting halfway fitting than before.

An electric supply side connector 1 (electric connector) has a lock lever 104 for locking the electric supply side connector 1 and a power reception side connector 2 during engagement; a micro-switch 106 for detecting the halfway fitting of the lock lever 104 and blocking conduction; and a release lever 105 for canceling locking of the lock lever 104 after charging. Under a halfway fitting condition, an intermediate part 104e of the lock lever 104 comes into contact with a spring piece 106a of the micro-switch 106, and operates to pressurize it. Therefore, a normally-closed contact of the micro-switch 106 is released to block conduction.
