Abstract
In an electrical connector of the present invention, a cover is mounted on a main body in such a manner as to be rotatable around a shaft and is rotatably connected with a slider at a position thereof shifted from the shaft. A connection object, e. g., memory module, is detachable supported by the slider. When the cover is rotated, the slider is moved reciprocally with respect to contacts arranged in the main body in association with the rotation of the cover, so that the memory module can be connected with the contacts. By virtue of this, the loading or unloading of the memory module can be simplified and also the connector or the memory module can be prevented from being damaged or deformed during the operation.
