A housing includes a plurality of contacts has a flat plate-shaped fitting portion projecting from a body portion to fit to a mating connector. The fitting portion has first and second main surfaces that are opposite each other and a pair of side surfaces connecting between those main surfaces. The contacts each have a contact portion disposed on the first main surface. The fitting portion is provided with a metal cover portion. The metal cover portion extends along a periphery of the fitting portion to cover the second main surface and the pair of side surfaces.

Connector

A connector () comprises two lock springs () provided with locking claws (E), respectively, and a control mechanism () for controlling positions of the locking claws (E). The lock springs () are arranged parallel to each other in an X-direction. The locking claws (E) are arranged parallel to each other in the X-direction. The control mechanism comprises a single button () and a cam mechanism (), which is coupled to the single button () and has two cam portions (B) arranged close to the lock springs () in the X-direction. When the single button () is operated, the cam portions (B) add forces to the lock springs () simultaneously to elastically deform the lock springs () so that the locking claws (E) are retracted inside a shell ().

Electrical connector

In a coaxial receptacle connector for receiving an coaxial plug connector having a plug side central contact and a plug side outer contact surrounding the plug side central contact, a receptacle side outer contact and a connection detecting element are placed around a receptacle side central contact to form a substantially cylindrical portion in cooperation with each other with gaps left therebetween in a circumferential direction. The receptacle side central contact is for being brought in contact with the plug side central contact. The receptacle side outer contact is for being brought into contact with the plug side central contact. The connection detecting element for detecting a connection between the coaxial plug connector and the coaxial receptacle connector.

Coaxial receptacle connector having a connection detecting element

In a shielded connector for being connected to a mating connector in a first direction, a metal shell (41) has a shielding portion (51) and a coupling portion (53) whichis formed integral with the shielding portion. The shielding portion covers an insulator (43) to electromagnetically shield contact members which are conductive. The coupling portion is for being mechanically coupled to the mating connector in the first direction. The dontact members are held to the insulator to be arranged in a second direction perpendicularto the first direction. The coupling portion is movable substantially in a third direction perpendicular to said first and said second directions.
