Patent attributes
A connector capable of detecting whether or not two connected objects each having a substantially plate-like shape have been normally inserted into a housing. A first insertion-detecting contact and a second insertion-detecting contact are arranged adjacent to each other in the housing. Contact portions 5c and 5f are provided in the first insertion-detecting contact. Contact portions 7c and 7f are provided in the second insertion-detecting contact. The contact portions 5c and 7c are configured to be electrically connected to a first FPC when the first FPC is normally inserted into the housing. When a second FPC is normally inserted into the housing, the contact portion 5f is urged by the second FPC, to be brought into contact with the contact portion 7f.
