Abstract:
1. An electrical connector for connection between a plate-like connection object and a board, wherein, assuming that a side where an opening for insertion of the connection object therethrough is provided is called a front and a side opposite to the opening is called a rear, the electrical connector comprises: a signal contact having a contact point for contact with a contact portion of the connection object and a terminal portion for connection to a connecting portion of the board; a housing holding the signal contact; a shield shell at least partially covering the housing; an insertion portion which is a space at least partially surrounded by a plane defined by the opening, the housing, and the shield shell; and an actuator having a structure in which an insulator at least partially covers a conductor member, the actuator adapted to operate to press the contact point of the signal contact against the contact portion of the connection object inserted into the insertion portion through the opening when the actuator is tilted to the rear, and wherein when the actuator is tilted to the rear so that the contact point of the signal contact and the contact portion of the connection object are brought into contact with each other, the conductor member covers a position, at the rear of the housing, where the connecting portion of the board and the terminal portion of the signal contact are connected to each other.
