Abstract: A connector main body of a connector accommodates a contact unit, a power cut-off unit that has an electric conductor unit, and open and close a power feeding path between an electrically driven vehicle and an electric power apparatus by bringing into contact or opening electric conductor unit, and an abnormality detection unit that detects an abnormality that occurs on power feeding path, or receives an abnormality signal from outside, an abnormality transmission unit that, when abnormality detection unit detects abnormality or receives abnormality signal, mechanically opens electric conductor unit, and a handle that mechanically brings into contact or opens electric conductor unit in a state in which abnormality detection unit does not detect abnormality and does not receive abnormality signal. Abnormality detection unit detects at least one of a short-circuit current and an overload current that occur on power feeding path as abnormality.

Abstract: This connector for electrical connection for electrically driven vehicle includes: a contact portion configured to electrically connect an electric cable, electrically connected with one of an electrically driven vehicle or a power apparatus, with the other; and a main body. Main body houses therein the contact portion, a power cutoff portion and a first abnormality detector. Power cutoff portion is configured to switch opening/closing of a feed line between the electrically driven vehicle and the power apparatus. First abnormality detector is configured to detect an abnormality that occurs in the feed line, or externally receive an abnormal signal. Power cutoff portion is configured to open the feed line, when first abnormality detector detects the abnormality or receives the abnormal signal. First abnormality detector is configured to detect, as the abnormality, at least one of a short-circuit current in the feed line or an overload current in the feed line.
