ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a jack type connector B with a thin shutter which is to be used in, for example, an IO port of a mobile terminal device such as a portable telephone, and also a plug type connector A which is to be used in combination with the jack type connector with a shutter. In the jack type connector B, a shutter which is molded by an electrically conductive resin material is accommodated in a housing in an openable and closable manner, and the shutter is always urged toward the closing position by a spring member. When the shutter is at the closing position, a butting portion of the shutter is in contact with a grounding contact piece incorporated in the housing. A protrusion is disposed on the lower end of the shutter, whereby a sufficiently large insulation space is ensured between the shutter and terminals. The plug type connector A has terminals and protrusion portions which are projected in front of the terminals. The protrusion portions are useful for pushing open the shutter. When the plug type connector A is pried and tilted, the protrusion portions escape to the outside without changing the initial shape of the jack type connector B.
