An electric connector includes a socket connector, a bar-like plug connector to be inserted/withdrawn to/from the socket connector and a fuse. When the plug connector is inserted to the socket connector, electric conduction is established in the electric circuit via the fuse. The fuse is attached to the socket connector.

A connector includes a required number of contacts, a housing, and a pivoting member. The contacts are substantially H-shaped and each includes at least a contact portion, a connection portion, a fulcrum portion, a connecting portion and a pressure receiving portion. The urging portions of the pivoting member are pivotally moved between the connection portions and the pressure receiving portions to bring the contact portions of the contacts into contact with a connecting object. The housing has a ceiling portion covering the contact portions of the contacts, and an upper wall covering the pressure receiving portions. The pivoting member includes an actuating portion, the urging portions, anchoring holes, and a cover portion for covering tail portions of the contacts upon pivotal movement of the pivoting member. The connecting object can be inserted into the connector with a slight force and dust proofing property can be improved.
