ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for electrical connection with a complementary electrical connector comprises an insulating housing (11, 31) having a first recessed portion (12, 32) opening outward. A plurality of electrical contact members (14) are secured in the housing (11, 31) and have contact sections extending along the first recessed portion but spaced inwardly from a front end of the housing (11, 31). A movable guide member has a second recessed portion (15a, 35c) and is positioned in the first recessed portion (12, 32) at an outer position and has holes (15c) in a bottom wall in which ends (14a) of the contact members are positioned. The guide member (15, 35) protects the contact sections of the contact members (14) and receives a section (21a, 41a) of the complementary connector (20, 40) therein when the connectors (10, 20; 30, 40) are connected with the section (21a, 41a) engaging and moving the guide member (15, 35) to an inner position during the connection with the holes (15c) aligning the contact sections for electrical engagement with the complementary contact members (22).
