Patent number: 10396509Abstract: To allow a fit-in state between electrical connectors to be firmly maintained, elastic arm-shaped members provided to a conductive shell member so as to elastically displace to a direction orthogonal to a fit-in direction of a mating connector are each provided with an engaging piece having a connector contact surface which the mating connector faces from the depth in the fit-in direction and a shell contact surface which a part of the conductive shell member faces from the front in the fit-in direction. When an external force is applied to the mating connector in a fit-in state to a removing direction opposite to the fit-in direction, the engaging piece is brought into a state of being interposed between the mating connector and the conductive shell member. This avoids a situation in which the engaging piece is removed from the mating connector to cause a lock release.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2018Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: DAI-ICHI SEIKO CO., LTD.Inventor: Takao Yamauchi
