Abstract
An inspection unit is provided for carrying out the inspection of a connector of the front holder type. The inspection for failures in mounting a front holder can be achieved, thus avoiding inconveniences caused by a mounting failure of the front holder. The inspection unit includes a slider that is displaceably provided on a block body for relative displacement. A probe pin for inspecting a metal terminal and an inspection element for inspecting for the presence of the front holder are provided on the slider. Furthermore, the slider retains a front holder subject to partial mounting and includes a contact area for making contact therewith. The contact area makes contact with the front holder after engagement with the inspection element. In the event of partial mounting of the front holder, because all of the probe pins are disconnected, failure in mounting of the front holder can therefore be determined.
