Abstract
A connector with a switch comprises a housing for defining a terminal accommodation chamber opened through a plug pin insertion hole. A fixed terminal and a switch terminal are held by the housing. The switch terminal comprises a U-shaped section opened toward the plug pin insertion hole in the terminal accommodation chamber. The U-shaped section is elastically deformable in a direction crossing the direction of plug pin insertion. The switch terminal is switched from a state in which it is brought into contact with the fixed terminal to a state in which the contact thereof with the fixed terminal is cut off as the U-shaped section is deformed in the direction crossing the direction of plug pin insertion.
