Abstract: A connector apparatus of the present invention includes a receptacle into which a plug is inserted, a moving member configured to move in conjunction with insertion of the plug, and a sensor provided below the receptacle and configured to detect presence or absence of the plug in the receptacle, in which the moving member includes a first portion extending downward, a second portion, one end of which is connected to the first portion and another end of which is located above the one end, and a third portion, one end of which is connected to the second portion and configured to move in conjunction with the insertion of the plug to thereby switch between a first state in which the plug is disposed in a predetermined region and a second state in which the plug is not disposed in the predetermined region.

Abstract: The present invention provides a receptacle connector including: a grounding portion configured to ground a connection object; and a ground connection terminal that is configured to be switchably held in a first state in which the ground connection terminal is electrically separated from the grounding portion, or in a second state in which the ground connection terminal is electrically brought into conduction with the grounding portion. The ground connection terminal is switched between the first state and the second state in operative association with interlining of the plug connector and the fitting portion. In the first state, the grounding terminal and the grounding portion are electrically separated. In the second state, the grounding terminal and the grounding portion are electrically brought into conduction with each other through the ground connection terminal.
