ABSTRACT:
In a dust-proof connector for an electronic unit detachably provided in an electronic apparatus in which an air-stream is produced in the apparatus to cool an interior thereof, the connector includes a first type connector half provided on the electronic unit and having a first array of electrical contacts, and a second type connector half provided in the apparatus and having a second array of electrical contacts. First and second dust-proof hoods are associated with the first and second connector half, and are formed of a suitable elastic material. The first hood is configured to block off the air-stream to thereby protect the first array from penetration of dust in the air-stream, and the second hood is configured to block off the air-stream to thereby protect the second array from penetration of dust in the air-stream. The first and second hoods cooperate with each other to be elastically deformed so as not to hinder establishment of a connection between the first and second arrays when the connector halves are connected to each other.
