Electrical connector

An electrical connector comprising:

• an insulative housing that is formed with a slot in which a tabular signal transmission member is fittable;
• a plurality of contacts each comprising an elastic conductor in a substantially H shape including a pair of beams and a pillar that connects the pair of beams with each other, the pair of beams located at one-end side with reference to the pillar being disposed in the slot of the housing so as to correspond to respective electrodes of the signal transmission member fitted in the housing through the slot;
• and
• an actuator attached to the housing in a freely rotatable manner, including a shaft which is held between the pair of beams at an other-end side with reference to the pillar, and which is rotatable around an axial center along with the rotation of the actuator, and enabling the plurality of contacts to contact the electrodes upon rotation of the shaft,
• wherein the actuator comprises:
• a tabular partition that partitions, for each beam located at a position that allows the beam to abut the actuator, a through-hole into which one of the pair of beams located at the other-end side and at the position that allows the beam to abut the actuator is inserted to prevent the beam from abutting the actuator;
• and
• a wider-width part including a wider-width surface which is disposed at one end of the partition corresponding to an upstream side of a flow of resin flowed to mold the partition when the actuator is molded by the resin containing a filler, and which has a wider width than a width of the one end of the partition.
