Description

Connector device Technical Field The present disclosure relates to connector devices. Background Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2013-211146 discloses a power supply connector capable of supplying power to an external load through an insertion port attached to a vehicle. Disclosure of Invention Although not explicitly described in the above-mentioned japanese patent application laid-open No. 2013-211146, the power supply connector has a structure different from a charging connector attached to an insertion port when charging a power storage device of a vehicle. Therefore, the user of the vehicle needs to change the connector used according to the purpose. Thus, a user who performs both power supply and charging sometimes owns both the power supply connector and the charging connector. In this case, it is considered that the space for configuring the power supply connector and the charging connector becomes large. The present disclosure has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a connector device capable of suppressing an increase in a layout space. A connector device according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes: A connector member including a1 st side portion provided with an insertion port connection portion connectable to an insertion port of a vehicle and a locking portion locking the insertion port connection portion connected to the insertion port, and a2 nd side portion provided at a position different from the 1 st side portion; a1 st connection member detachable from the 2 nd side portion and electrically connectable to an external power source, and A2 nd connection member which is detachable from the 2 nd side portion and which is electrically connectable to an external device, The 1 st connection member is configured to transmit power from an external power source to the connector member in a state of being electrically connected to the external power source and connected to the 2 nd side portion, The 2 nd connection member is configured to transmit power from the connector member to an external device in a state of being electrically connected to the external device and being connected to the 2 nd side portion. As described above, the connector device according to one aspect of the present invention includes the connector member, the 1 st connecting member detachable from the connector member and electrically connectable to an external power source, and the 2 nd connecting member detachable from the connector member and electrically connectable to an external device. Thus, the structure of the connector device can be simplified by one connector member compared with the case of having a charging connector in which the connector member is integrated with the 1 st connecting member and a discharging connector in which the connector member is integrated with the 2 nd connecting member. As a result, the increase in the layout space of the connector device can be suppressed. Further, since the connector device, the 1 st connecting member, and the 2 nd connecting member are independent components, when any of the connector device, the 1 st connecting member, and the 2 nd connecting member fails, repair and replacement of the failed component can be performed independently. This can facilitate maintenance of the connection device. The 1 st connecting member may include: a1 st connector connecting portion capable of being connected with the 2 nd side portion, and A 1 st plug provided at a position different from the 1 st connector connection part and connectable to a 1 st socket of an external power source, The 2 nd connecting member may include: a2 nd connector connecting portion capable of being connected with the 2 nd side portion, and The 2 nd socket is provided at a position different from the 2 nd connector connecting portion and can be connected to the 2 nd plug of the external device. According to this configuration, the 1 st connection member can be electrically connected to the connector member and the external power source, respectively, easily. In addition, the 2 nd connection member and the connector member can be electrically connected to each other easily. The connector member may include a1 st resistive element portion that is electrically connected to the vehicle in a state where the insertion port connection portion is connected to the insertion port, The 1 st connection member is not electrically connected to the 1 st resistive element portion in a state of being connected to the 2 nd side portion, The 2 nd connection member includes a 2 nd resistive element portion electrically connected to the 1 st resistive element portion in a state where the 2 nd connection member is connected to the 2 nd side portion. According to such a configuration, it is possible to cause the vehicle to detect which of the 1 st connection member and the 2 nd connection member is connected to the connector member (i.e., which of charging and
