To provide a power supply device capable of appropriately notifying the mating state or non-mating state of a connector.SOLUTION: A power supply device 10 includes a power supply connector 28 that can be fitted with a power reception connector 32 provided on a power supply target device 30, and includes a gripping portion 16 that is gripped by a user, a power source portion that supplies power to the power supply target device 30 via the gripping portion 16, a vibrating portion 26 that vibrates the gripping portion 16, a mating presence/absence state detection portion 58 that detects a mating presence/absence state which is a mating state in which the power supply connector 28 and the power reception connector 32 are completely mated, or a non-mating state in which the power supply connector 28 and the power reception connector 32 are not mated, and a vibration control portion 56 that vibrates the vibrating portion 26 when the detected mating presence/absence state is the non-mating state, and stops the vibrating portion 26 after the detected mating presence/absence state is the mating state.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】コネクタの嵌合状態または非嵌合状態を適切に報知できる給電装置を提供する。【解決手段】給電装置１０は、給電対象機器３０に設けられた受電コネクタ３２と嵌合可能な給電コネクタ２８を備え、使用者によって把持される把持部１６と、把持部１６を介して給電対象機器３０に電力を供給する電源部と、把持部１６を振動させる振動部２６と、給電コネクタ２８と受電コネクタ３２との嵌合が完了した嵌合状態、または給電コネクタ２８と受電コネクタ３２とが嵌合されていない非嵌合状態のうち何れかである嵌合有無状態を検出する嵌合有無状態検出部５８と、検出された嵌合有無状態が非嵌合状態である場合に振動部２６を振動させ、検出された嵌合有無状態が嵌合状態になった後、振動部２６を停止させる振動制御部５６と、を備える。【選択図】図２
