Abstract
The present technology relates to a connector device and a connector system capable of achieving reduction in manufacturing cost. Provided is a connector device including a first contact used in actual use, and a second contact used only in manufacturing, in which the first contact and the second contact have different core lengths in a case of being viewed from a connection target side. The present technology can be applied to a camera device electrically connected to a vehicle connector, for example.
Claims21
A connector device, comprising:
- a first contact used in actual use, of a first device associated with the connector device, subsequent to a manufacturing process of the first device, and
- a second contact configured to:
- connect to a second device only in the manufacturing process,
- disconnect from the second device upon completion of the manufacturing process, and
- remain in a disconnected state subsequent to the disconnection, from the second device, upon the completion of the manufacturing process,
- wherein:
- the second device is different from the first device, and
- the first contact and the second contact have different core lengths in a case of being viewed from a connection target side.
