Patent attributes
A connector comprises an interlock busbar adapted to be inserted into an interlock connector and short-circuit a pair of first conducting wires of a mating connector, a clip busbar adapted to pinch and short-circuit a pair of terminals of the mating connector, a housing, a lever, and a slider supported on the housing and slidable between an unmating position and a mating position. The lever removes the short circuit of the pair of first conducting wires by pulling out the interlock busbar from the interlock connector according to a first-half turning operation. The slider at the mating position blocks a second-half turning operation by interfering with the lever at an end of the first-half turning operation of the lever, and allows the second-half turning operation of the lever after a sliding operation of the slider to the unmating position.
