Abstract
A connector has first and second housings () that are connectable with each other. The second housing () has second terminal fittings (), second detecting terminals () and short canceling members (). The first housing () has shorting terminals () for shorting pairs of the first terminal fittings, a resilient arm () that deforms as the housings () are connected, and first detecting terminals () that deform as the resilient arm () is deformed to touch the second detecting terminals () for detecting the connected state. The resilient arm () is held deformed and the first detecting terminals () are held in contact with the second detecting terminals () until a connecting operation is completed. The resilient arm () resiliently restores to separate the first detecting terminals () from the second detecting terminals () when the connection is completed.
