Connector

A connector comprising terminals, a terminal holding member that is made of an insulating material and holds said terminals, a cable that is electrically connected to said terminals and extends out from said terminal holding member, and a protective cover that is made of a conductive material and covers said terminal holding member, and further having a pull tab made from a flexible sheet of conductive material that has a tip end part thereof bonded onto said protective cover and extends outwards, wherein said connector is removed from a counterpart connector into which said connector has been fitted by pulling said pull tab,

• wherein said connector is a right-angled type connector, and said tip end part of said pull tab is bonded using an adhesive onto an outside face on a fitting port side of said protective cover, and a rear end part of said pull tab extends rearwardly along said outside face in a direction perpendicular to the direction of extension of said cable.

A matable electrical connector comprising a housing having a front, mating face and insulating sidewalls extending rearwardly away from the front, mating face and enclosing a plurality of terminals which extend to the mating face and terminate respective very thin wires of a cable which extends rearwardly from the housing and a flexible conductive sheet having a front edge portion bonded by adhesive to an exterior of one of the side walls adjacent the front, mating face and extends rearwardly in covering and magnetically shielding relation along the sidewall and has a rearwardly extending portion extending clear of a housing rear to form a manually graspable pull-tab by which the connector can be uncoupled from a counterpart connector mated therewith at the mating face,

• wherein said connector is a right-angled type connector, and said tip end part of said pull tab is bonded using an adhesive onto an outside face on a fitting port side of said terminal holding member, and a rear end part of said pull tab extends rearwardly along said outside face in a direction perpendicular to the direction of said cable.
