An electrical connector having a shutter at an opening provided on a front side thereof for plug-in with a mating connector, said electrical connector comprising:
- a housing;
- a shield case made of a sheet metal and fixed to an outside of said housing;
- at least one shutter member for opening and closing said opening of said electrical connector and having a lid moving to an open position of said shutter when said mating connector pushes said lid during said plug-in;
- and
- a pair of bias members for biasing said shutter member toward a closed position of said shutter, wherein each of said pair of bias members includes at least one resilient arm of a plate-type spring made as one body with said shield case.
An electrical connector having a shutter at an opening provided on a front side thereof for plug-in with a mating connector, said electrical connector comprising:
- at least one shutter member for opening and closing said opening of said electrical connector and having a lid moving to an open position of said shutter when said mating connector pushes said lid during said plug-in;
- and
- a pair of bias members for biasing said shutter member to a closed position of said shutter, wherein each of said pair of bias members includes a fixed portion fixed to a housing or a member fixed to said housing, and at least one resilient arm of a plate-type spring made as one body with said fixed portion.
