1. A connector, comprising:
a housing; and
a terminal position holder detachably mounted on an end of the housing,
wherein a mating feature adapted to mate with a corresponding mating connector is formed on the terminal position holder, so that the connector is adapted to mate with the corresponding mating connector;
wherein the terminal position holder has a positioning notch formed on a cylindrical wall, the housing has a protrusion package for installing a first detection connector, and the protrusion package is positioned in the positioning notch;
wherein the mating feature is a mating protrusion projecting radially outward from an outer surface of the cylindrical wall, and an area where the mating protrusion is located is opposite to the positioning notch in a radial direction of the cylindrical wall;
wherein an arc-shaped positioning protrusion is respectively formed on the outer surface of both sides in the horizontal direction of the cylindrical wall, and the arc-shaped positioning protrusions are opposite to each other in the radial direction of the cylindrical wall;
wherein outer peripheral surfaces of the arc positioning protrusion, the mating feature and the protrusion package are adapted to contact an inner wall surface of an outer housing of the mating connector to position the connector.
