Abstract:
1. An electronic component connector comprising: a rectangular connector body that accommodates an electronic component in which an optical waveguide extends from one side plane, in a state where the optical waveguide is extended to an outside from a front substantially horizontally, to electrically connect with the electronic component, and that is mounted on a substrate; lead terminal parts that is lead out from both sides of the connector body and are located in the connector body such that a plurality of the lead terminal parts are aligned only along a direction in which the optical waveguide extends, and that is jointed to a conductor on the substrate; an electrically conductive cover part that is openably and closably mounted to pivot about a horizontal axis which is orthogonal to the optical waveguide on a rear end part side of the connector body, and that covers the connector body from above in a state where the optical waveguide is extended from the front when the cover part is closed; and an electrically conductive terminal cover part that is provided in the cover part and that covers an entire top plane of the lead terminal parts from above and moves away from the lead terminal parts following rotation of the cover part in an opening direction, wherein the terminal cover part is arranged horizontally directly above the lead terminal parts when the cover part is closed, and comprises a horizontal plate shape extending in the direction in which the optical waveguide extends.
