Abstract

Disclosed is a connection apparatus capable of supplying power supplied from a power supply module to a load. The connection apparatus includes: a connection unit connectable with the power supply module; a light emission element; and a light emission controller for controlling the light emission element, wherein the light emission controller causes, upon detection of a connection of the power supply module to the connection unit, the light emission element to emit light for a first predetermined time.

Claims (13)

1. A connection apparatus capable of supplying power supplied from a power supply module to a load, the connection apparatus comprising:

a connection unit connectable with the power supply module;

a light emission element;

a light emission controller for controlling the light emission element; and

an output controller for controlling supply of power from the connection apparatus to the load, wherein

the light emission controller causes, upon detection of a connection of the power supply module to the connection unit, the light emission element to emit light for a first predetermined time, and

the output controller cuts off, upon detection of a connection of the power supply module to the connection unit, the supply of the power to the load for a second predetermined time that is longer than the first predetermined time.

2. The connection apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the output controller includes a resistor, a capacitor, and a transistor.

3. The connection apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the output controller includes a timer.

4. The connection apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light emission controller includes a resistor, a capacitor, and a transistor.

5. The connection apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light emission controller includes a timer.

6. The connection apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connection unit is a connector including an electrode which receives power from the power supply module.

7. The connection apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light emission element is a light emission diode.
