The signal output module 62 is used for outputting the test signal to the terminal 612 of the capacitance sensing selection module 61 through the terminal 621.
The capacitance sensing selection module 61 is electrically connected to the pair of second alignment pads 32, and is configured to determine whether a fixed capacitance or impedance is sensed at each of the pair of second alignment pads 32 when the plurality of test signal supply pads 22 are aligned and attached to the plurality of test signal receiving pads 21, and if so, output a test signal to the test signal supply pads 22 through the terminal 611.

The capacitance sensing selection module 61 is used for determining whether impedance is sensed at each of the pair of second alignment pads 32 when the plurality of test signal supply pads 22 are aligned and attached to the plurality of test signal receiving pads 21.

The capacitance sensing selection module 61 is configured to determine whether impedances are sensed at the pair of second alignment pads 32 when the plurality of test signal supply pads 22 are aligned and attached to the plurality of test signal receiving pads 21, receive a voltage signal through the pair of fourth alignment pads 72, and determine whether a fixed capacitance is formed at the pair of fourth alignment pads 72 through the voltage signal. If the capacitance sensing selection module 61 determines that the pair of second alignment pads 32 sense the impedance and the pair of fourth alignment pads 72 form a fixed capacitance, it is determined that the second alignment pads 32 are aligned with the first alignment pads 31 and the fourth alignment pads 72 are aligned with the third alignment pads 71, that is, the test signal supply pads 22 are aligned with the test signal receiving pads 21, and at this time, the test signal can be transmitted to the test signal receiving pads 21 through the test signal supply pads 22.
In the third embodiment, it can be determined whether the second alignment pad 32 is aligned with the first alignment pad 31, and it can also be determined whether the fourth alignment pad 72 is aligned with the third alignment pad 71, thereby performing a double safety function.
