Patent ID: 8297998

Claim:
An electrical connector, comprising: (a) an insulating base, having one end defined with a first driving region where a perforation is formed; (b) an insulating cover, covered on the insulating base and capable of sliding relative to the insulating base, wherein one end of the insulating cover is defined with a second driving region corresponding to the first driving region, the second driving region is opened with a through hole corresponding to the perforation, two slots are recessed from a top surface of the second driving region, and the slots are respectively located on two sides of the through hole; (c) a thrust member, disposed on the second driving region from the top surface of the second driving region, wherein the thrust member has a body accommodated in the through hole, the body has an axial pushing hole corresponding to the through hole, the thrust member further has two plate portions respectively extending from two sides of the body, the plate portions are accommodated in the corresponding slots, and a top surface of the body is lower than top surfaces of the two plate portions, and wherein lateral edges of the body and the plate portions are substantially against inner edges of the through hole and the slots of the insulating cover in the sliding direction of the insulating cover; and (d) a cam, having a driving portion located above the body and a shaft extending downwards from the driving portion, wherein at least one interference portion projects from a periphery of a lower end of the shaft, the shaft passes through the axial pushing hole and the perforation in sequence, and the interference portion is fixed near a bottom of the insulating base.
