  • Electrical connector with anti-rotation mechanism
    Patent number: 6609926
    Abstract: An electrical connector (1) with anti-rotation mechanism includes an insulative base (10), a cover (12) slidably mounted on the base, a plurality of conductive terminals (19) received in passageways (101) defined in the base, an actuator (16) received in the base and the cover, and an anti-rotation mechanism (14). The actuator can actuate the cover to slide along the base. The anti-rotation mechanism includes a cover plate (141) retained in the cover, and a base plate (142) received in the base. The cover plate and the base plate respectively include a pair of guiding blocks (1413), and a pair of guiding slots (1422) movably receiving the guiding blocks. When the actuator actuates the cover to slide along the base, the anti-rotation mechanism prevents or minimizes rotation between the cover plate and the base plate.
