  • Patent number: 11201438
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes multiple terminals fixed to an insulating body. Each terminal has a contact portion electrically connected with a mating connector, and a conducting portion located behind the contact portion. The conducting portion extends out of the insulating body and is electrically connected with a circuit board. A grounding shell wraps outside the insulating body. A shielding shell rotates relative to the insulating body between a closed position and an open position. A first end of the shielding shell is electrically connected with the grounding shell. When the shielding shell is at the closed position, a second end of the shielding shell is electrically connected with at least one grounding medium electrically connected with the circuit board. When the shielding shell is at the open position, an observation window is formed between the shielding shell and the grounding medium to expose the conducting portions of the terminals.
