Connector adapter with memory function unit
View Patent ↗A non-lock detector switch is provided on or near an adapter to be switched by a connector plug when the connector plug with memory function unit is coupled to the adapter having an antenna for accessing to the memory function unit. Accordingly, connection state of each connector can be directly and simultaneously detected by the switching operation of the detector switch at a time preceding a little from a time when the antenna detects the memory function unit just having closed to a position opposed to the antenna. This is useful for exactly and detecting without delay the complete coupling state of each one of a number of adapters in distinction from the incomplete coupling state of any one of adapters.
1. A connector adapter for coupling to a connector plug, wherein said connector plug is provided with a memory function unit capable of performing operations of writing in and reading out necessary information, from an outside source by wireless transmission, and wherein said connector adapter comprises:
an antenna for reading out control information from said memory function unit by wireless transmission when said connector plug is coupled to said connector adapter; and
a detector switch for initiating said wireless transmission when said connector plug is coupled to said connector adapter, said detector switch being located on or near said connector adapter.
2. A connector adapter for coupling to a connector plug according to claim 1 , wherein the detector switch is mounted on the connector adapter.
