Abstract
A connector apparatus includes a receiving connector connected to a power source and including first and second power jack terminals, a control jack terminal, a control switch including first and second contact points, and an insulative spring positioned below the control switch, and an inserting connector connected to an electronic device and including first and second power plug terminals connected in correspondence with the first and second power jack terminals for receiving power from the power source, and a control plug terminal that extends towards the control switch and applies pressure to the insulative spring for causing the first and second contact points to connect and enabling the power from the power source to be supplied to the electronic device. A part of the insulative spring is configured to melt when an electric arc is generated by disconnecting the connection between the first and second contact points.
