Abstract
An electrical connector comprises a housing body with a peripheral region and a central region. A hinge support protrudes from the housing body. A curved wall portion extends outward from the central region. A lid has a hollow portion arranged for rotation with respect to the hinge support. A spring or resilient member is configured to bias the lid in a closed state against an electrical socket with one or more electrically conductive terminals in an interior of the electrical socket. A slider is arranged to slide radially along the curved wall portion between an open position and a closed position, where the closed position holds the lid in the closed state and where the open position allows the lid to be rotationally raised or flipped upward.
