  • Patent number: 8043128
    Abstract: A connector includes a housing including a first housing unit and a second housing unit. The first housing unit is fitted to the second housing unit to form a fitting opening for receiving a plug connector. The first housing unit includes a rotatable section, and the second housing unit includes a support section for supporting the rotatable section to be rotatable to freely open the fitting opening. The support section is arranged to release the rotatable section so that the first housing unit is separated from the second housing unit when a force is applied to the support section.

  • Patent number: 7044782
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a shield case for surrounding a contact portion of a terminal to be connected to a mating connector to be fitted in through an opening formed in a conductive front panel of an electrical device; and an attaching surface to be attached to a back surface of the front panel of the electrical device. The shield case has a cylindrical shape formed of a metal plate through bending. A housing includes the attaching surface and a receptacle portion recessed relative to the attaching surface. The shield case is retained in the receptacle portion. The shield case includes an elastic contact portion at a part thereof formed through bending. The elastic contact portion protrudes forward from a level of the attaching surface of the housing. When the electrical connector is attached to the front panel, the elastic contact portion elastically contacts with the front panel.
