Patent ID: 7361048

Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: a housing made of insulator and attached to a main circuit board, a plurality of conductive contacts arranged in the housing, each of said conductive contacts being positioned to correspond to one of a plurality of connecting terminals provided on a circuit board member when the circuit board member is partially inserted into the housing, and an actuator provided rotatably on the housing to engage with the conductive contacts and to take up first and second stations selectively for bringing each of the conductive contacts into press-contact with one of the connecting terminals corresponding thereto when the circuit board member is partially inserted into the housing and the actuator is shifted from the first station to the second station and for causing each of the conductive contacts to get out of press-contact with the corresponding one of the connecting terminals when the circuit board member partially inserted into the housing and the actuator is shifted from the second station to the first station, wherein said actuator is configured to have a covering portion constituting a bent partition wall and operative to dispose the bent partition wall on the main circuit board so that end portions of the conductive contacts connected electrically with conductive circuit pattern portions provided on the main circuit board are surrounded on three sides by the bent partition wall to be covered and concealed with the covering portion when the actuator is postured to take up the second station.
