Connector testing device

A connector testing device for a connector having a space and a lance provided in a connector housing, the lance having a retaining projection for retaining a connection terminal and being elastically deformable into the space, said connector testing device comprising:

• a hood portion for receiving the connector housing in such a manner that an outer surface of the connector housing is in contact with an inner surface of said hood portion;
• a detection pin including a tip end portion extending forwardly from a body portion thereof so as to be inserted into the space, and a detection portion which extends rearwardly from said body portion, and is smaller in cross-sectional area than said body portion, said detection pin being movable forward and rearward and being normally urged forward;
• first urging means for normally urging said detection pin forward;
• a spacer having an insertion hole having such a size as to allow said body portion to pass therethrough, said spacer being movable upward and downward and being normally urged upward;
• and
• second urging means for normally urging said spacer upward,
• wherein at least one of first and second slanting surfaces is formed with respect to said insertion hole and said body portion;
• said first slanting surface being formed at a front lower edge of said insertion hole and facing generally forwardly, and in an upwardly-urged position of said spacer, said first slanting surface being engageable with a rear edge of said body portion;
• and said second slanting surface being formed at a rear lower edge of said body portion and facing generally rearwardly, and in the upwardly-urged position of said spacer, said second slanting surface being engageable with a front edge of said insertion hole, and
• wherein when said detection pin is disposed in a forward position, only said detection portion passes through said insertion hole, and when said detection pin is disposed in a rearward position, at least part of said body portion passes through said insertion hole.

• second urging means for normally urging said spacer downward;
• a front panel extending from said spacer;
• and
• printing means, provided on an inner surface of said front panel, for applying a mark to an outer surface of said connector housing in a downward position of said spacer,
• wherein at least one of first and second slanting surfaces is formed with respect to said insertion hole and said body portion;
• said first slanting surface being formed at a front upper edge of said insertion hole and facing generally forwardly, and in a downwardly-urged position of said spacer, said first slanting surface being engageable with a rear edge of said body portion;
• and said second slanting surface being formed at a rear upper edge of said body portion and facing generally rearwardly, and in the downwardly-urged position of said spacer, said second slanting surface being engageable with a front edge of said insertion hole, and
