An electrical connector, comprising:
- a base having a plurality of passageways and a compartment in one end thereof;
- a cover mounted to the base, the cover having a plurality of through holes corresponding to the passageways and a driving compartment corresponding to the compartment, the driving compartment having one single-step stopper and at least one recess positioned adjacent the stopper and receiving a stiffener therein for supporting the stopper;
- a cam disposed in the driving compartment and the compartment to drive the cover moving relative to the base along a front-to-back direction;
- wherein a blocking section extends from the cam and abut against the stopper to limit the rotation of the cam;
- wherein a tab extends upwardly from the base;
- and a notch is defined on a side of a recess of the cover and is in communication with the recess for receiving the tab of the base;
- and wherein a depth of the notch is smaller than dept of the recess so that the tab in the notch can support the stiffener.
An electrical connector, comprising:
- a base having a plurality of passageways and a compartment in one end thereof;
- a cover mounted to the base and having a plurality of through holes corresponding to the passageways, the cover having a driving compartment corresponding to the compartment and two stoppers disposed on a sidewall of the driving compartment;
- a cam disposed in the driving compartment and the compartment adapted for driving the cover moving relative to the base along a front-to-back direction;
- and
- a first stiffener disposed at a front side of the stoppers for engaging with the cam, and
- two second stiffeners respectively disposed at a back side of the two stoppers;
- wherein a blocking section extends from the cam and abut against the stopper to limit the rotation of the cam;
- wherein a tab extends upwardly from the base;
- and
- a notch is defined on a side of a recess of the cover and is in communication with the recess for receiving the tab of the base;
- and wherein a depth of the notch is smaller than dept of the recess so that the tab in the notch can support the second stiffeners.
