ABSTRACT:
An open/close type connector having a base member, a cover member, and an electronic apparatus of a card type or a personal computer type using the connector. The connector is thin so that when it is not used, i.e., is not connected with a modular plug the portability of the card is not lost. In addition, less restriction is introduced on the attachment position at which the connector is attached to the card or the personal computer. A link is used for opening and closing the cover member. Structure for enhancing the stability and the electrical connection reliability when a modular plug is mounted on the connector is provided, and the base member and the cover member are adapted to be rotatable so that they can be relatively opened or closed thereby yielding a connector which can be preferably adopted by an electronic apparatus of a card type.
