Abstract
Two connectors () are separated until an initially connected state is reached by rotating a nut () in a loosening direction to release the nut () from a threadedly engaged state in a properly connected state of the two connectors (), and an interlock circuit is turned off during this time to set a power supply circuit to a cut-off state. A partial locking mechanism () is provided between the two connectors () for preventing any further separation by locking the power-supply side connector () when the power-supply side connector () is separated up to an initial connection position and enabling the power-supply side connector () to be completely separated when a specified force or larger is applied to the power-supply side connector ().
