Abstract: An electric connector including a base block with two opposite slideways that receive tongues on a flexible cover plate. The connector further includes a plurality of terminals each of which is inserted into grooves in said base block. Upper connecting ends of the terminals form two parallel rows. The cover plate protects the terminals form being dislodged when a male connector or IC card is plugged into the connector. The cover plate also prevents dirt and water vapor from adhering to the terminals to negatively affect the performance of the electric connector.
