Electrical connector with rotationally restricted cover member

An electrical connector comprising:

• a main body comprising an insertion opening into which a connection target is inserted and an accommodation space to accommodate the connection target inserted into the insertion opening;
• a conductive contact held in the main body so as to be connected to the connection target in the accommodation space;
• a cover member rotatably mounted on the main body so as to cover at least a part of an outer shell of the main body and to be rotatable around a rotation axis passing through the main body, wherein the cover member comprises:
• a restricting member configured to switch, in response to a rotation of the cover member around the rotation axis, between a first state in which removal of the connection target in the accommodation space is restricted and a second state in which the connection target is released;
• and
• a main plate which protrudes from a base end portion along the rotation axis, overlaps the main body in the first state, and is separated from the main body in the second state, wherein the restricting member is provided on the main plate;
• and
• a stopper portion protruding from the outer shell of the main body to restrict a rotation range of the main plate of the cover member with respect to the main body in the second state in which the connection target is released.
