CONNECTION DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate manufacturing, to simplify the configuration of a connection device, to reduce cost, to facilitate handling while making the connection device small-sized, and to improve reliability by enabling waveguides to be connected with each other while being accurately aligned.SOLUTION: The connection device comprises a first connection member including a first housing 11 to which a first waveguide 91 is connected, and a second connection member including a second housing 111 to which a second waveguide 191 is connected. The first housing 11 includes a first fitting surface and a first magnet, and the second housing 111 includes a second fitting surface and a second magnet. The first connection member and the second connection member are mutually displaced in a fitting direction that is orthogonal to an axial direction of the first waveguide 91 and the second waveguide 191, and mutually positioned and fitted by magnetic forces of the first magnet and the second magnet. 【課題】製造が容易で、構成が簡素でコストが低く、小型でありながら、取扱いが容易で、導波体同士を正確に位置合せした状態で接続することができ、信頼性が高くなるようにする。【解決手段】第１導波体９１が接続される第１ハウジング１１を有する第１接続部材と、第２導波体１９１が接続される第２ハウジング１１１を有する第２接続部材とを備える接続装置であって、前記第１ハウジング１１は第１嵌（かん）合面と第１磁石とを有し、前記第２ハウジング１１１は第２嵌合面と第２磁石とを有し、前記第１接続部材と第２接続部材とは、前記第１導波体９１及び第２導波体１９１の軸方向に対して直交する嵌合方向に相互に変位し、前記第１磁石及び第２磁石の磁力によって相互に位置決めされ、嵌合する。【選択図】図１
