The other of the connectors has an elastically deformable engagement detent. The engagement detent can go over the engagement portion and be engaged with the engagement portion. One of the connectors is fitted to the other of the connectors. A portion of the electric equipment is imaged by a camera. A piece of data which changes is measured from an obtained picture image. A deformation of the engagement detent occurs with going-up of the engagement detent onto the engagement portion. Whether or not the connectors are properly fitted is determined. Fitting of the connectors is performed again when it is determined that the connectors are not properly fitted.
A method of inspecting a fitting state of a product, said product made by fitting an engagement portion of a first connector with an elastically deformable engagement detent of a second connector, the second connector including a connector main body on which the engagement detent is formed, the engagement detent being capable of going over the engagement portion and being engaged with the engagement portion through fitting, the method comprising:
