  • Connector having a thermal protection circuit
    Patent number: 9716350
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connector including a thermal protection circuit which detects abnormal heating to cut off the power supply. The connector (200) of the invention has: a cover portion (21); a plug portion (22); and a printed circuit board (27). The thermal protection circuit includes: an FET (34) which is inserted in a power supply line of a printed circuit board; and a temperature switch IC (33) which detects a temperature, and which, when the detected temperature exceeds a predetermined temperature, outputs an abnormal heating signal for causing the FET to cut off the power supply line. The connector includes a metal bonding member (360) which thermally couples a metal shell (25) to the temperature switch IC (33). The connector in which power supply can be cut off with high sensitivity with respect to abnormal heating in a plug portion is provided.
