ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector with an openable cover. The front half of an upper wall of the connector housing is removed to provide an opening with a slide cover provided for covering the opening. A peep notch is formed in the front edge of the upper wall of the connector. The slide cover is configured such that in a closed position a peep gap appears between the rear edge of the slide cover and the front top edge of the connector housing. A retainer mechanism is provided on the cover which comprises an angular projection formed on the slide cover and having a guide surface, and a retainer projection formed on the lower surface of the front edge of the housing whereby the retainer projection is guided by the guide surface to be engaged with the angular projection locking the slide cover in its closed position. A resilient, cantilever type, retainer piece is provided for insuring a positive, locked seating with a mating connector. The slide cover has a depressible plate of a cantilever type disposed parallel to the resilient retainer piece and has an urging projection formed on its lower surface at its free end. When the slide cover is in its retracted position the urging projection is positioned at an intermediate point of the retainer piece so that the retaining piece is moved downward and the connector is released from the mating connector in response to depression of the depressible plate.
