Abstract
A connector is disclosed. The connector has an insulation body, a conductive terminal disposed on the insulation body, and a scratching terminal disposed on the insulation body. The scratching terminal is electrically isolated from the conductive terminal. An electrical contact of a mating conductive terminal of a mating connector comes into electrical contact with the scratching terminal before electrically contacting the conductive terminal during mating with the connector.
