Abstract (en)

[origin: JPH01149384A] PURPOSE: To detect a loose of a plug-in connector by generating an alarm signal when an auxiliary circuit is open due to a loosened auxiliary contact. CONSTITUTION: A plug 1 has an auxiliary contact 12 shorter than an effective contact 11 and received by a contact bush 22 of a socket 2 in a closed state of a plug-in connector. An auxiliary circuit is closed through the auxiliary contact 12 grounded and the contact bush 22 is connected to a monitor 4. When the plug-in connector is loosened, the auxiliary contact 12 comes off the contact bush 22 of the socket 2 and an earth voltage is not applied to the monitor 4, generating an alarm signal W to alarm a loose connection of the plug-in connector.
