Abstract: The plug shell of the electrical connector includes the accommodation portion for accommodating the contact pin and the housing that holds the contact pin, the insertion port for inserting the contact pin and the housing into the accommodation portion, the lid member for closing the insertion port, and the hold mechanism for holding the lid member. The hold mechanism includes the pedestal, on which the lid member is placed, and the pair of hold pieces, which hold the lid member on the pedestal by pressing. The pair of hold pieces press the end portions of the lid member toward the pedestal, so that thereby a stress that urges the end portions to become distant from the pedestal is generated in the lid member.

Abstract: A first terminal includes a to-be-held portion configured to be inserted, in a vertical direction, into a terminal holding hole. The outer surface of the to-be-held portion and the inner surface of the terminal holding hole formed in the first housing include: a contact region where the outer surface of the to-be-held portion and the inner surface of the terminal holding hole are in contact with each other; and a gap region where a reservoir space is formed between the outer surface of the to-be-held portion and the inner surface of the terminal holding hole. The contact region includes a partial region located on an exposed portion's side.
