Abstract
A connector device connects a load device to a power supply path in a daisy chain to allow transmission and reception of power between the load device and the power supply path. The connector device includes a housing, an upstream connector connectable to an upstream portion of the power supply path, a downstream connector connectable to a downstream portion of the power supply path, and a load connector that supplies, to a body of the load device, power divided from an internal supply path connecting the upstream connector and the downstream connector in the housing. The connector device is separate from the body of the load device. A combination of the load device and a rated current of at least one of the upstream connector or the downstream connector is changeable based on a current flowing through the upstream connector and a current flowing through the downstream connector.
