Abstract
A connection device for detecting connection status is used for detecting that an electrical connector is inserted in upside up position or upside down position. In the connection device, first connecting terminals are disposed on a first side while second connecting terminals are disposed on a second side. When the electrical connector is connected to the connection device, the terminals, which do not establish connection with the electrical connector, contact with a metal housing of the electrical connector. Therefore, at least two of these terminals are short circuited. Through determining which group of the first connecting terminals and the second connecting terminals is short circuited, a control module determines that the electrical connector is inserted in upside up position or upside down position.
