Connector checking device

Claim 1

A connector checking device for checking a connector, wherein a connector to be checked comprises a connector housing composed of a plurality of terminal accommodating chambers, each being provided with a resilient locking piece formed for firmly retaining the connector terminal fully inserted therein, and of a deformation absorbing space formed for permitting a deformation of said resilient locking piece, inside said deformation absorbing space a spacer formed with a locking projection at its rear end is inserted for checking whether the terminal is fully inserted, wherein said connector checking device comprises: a connector holding member, and a checking device main body which is detachably mounted from said connector holding member, characterized in that: said main body is further provided with: a plurality of check pins connected with an electric circuit and urged toward said connector holding member by a first spring, and a spacer removing piece formed with a hook to be engaged with said locking projection of the spacer, and urged toward said connector holding member by a spring, and that: when said check pin is brought into contact with the fully inserted terminal, the electric circuit is energized, and the hook of said spacer removing piece is fitted with the spacer inserted in said deformation absorbing space, and thereafter when the said main body is separated from said connector holding member, said spacer removing piece is completely drawn out from the terminal accommodating chamber.
