Abstract
Breakage of electrical components inside is prevented when live wire insertion-and-removal is performed after inhibition of an increase in costs. A coin processing deviceincludes a coin sorting unit, a coin housing unit, and a harness. The coin housing unit has a first connectorincluding a first terminal TH, a second terminal TL, and a first ground terminal TG. The coin sorting unit includes: a second connectorcoupled to the first connector through the harness, the second connectorincluding the third terminal THto which a high voltage is supplied through the first terminal, a fourth terminal TLconfigured to supply a low voltage to the second terminal, and a second ground terminal TGgrounded through the first ground terminal; a low-voltage power source circuitconfigured to generate the low voltage from the high voltage supplied to the third terminal, and configured to output the low voltage from a low-voltage output terminal; and a switch circuit. The switch circuit disconnects electrical connection between the low-voltage output terminal and the fourth terminal in a case where a difference between a voltage at the second ground terminal and a voltage at the low-voltage output terminal has been less than a threshold value.
