ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a faceplate and a cover plate. The faceplate is provided with at least receptacle having two slots. A rectangular recess is provided on the faceplate outside the slots. A tongue of a length corresponding to that of the slots is provided between the slots. Each slot is provided with a slide groove at an outer side thereof. The cover plate is received in the recess and has a length substantially equivalent to the distance from bottom edges of the slots to a bottom edge of the recess. The cover plate includes an indentation at an upper end shaped to receive the tongue, and two side wings each having a hook extending downwardly from outer edges thereof for engaging the slide grooves. When the cover plate is disposed in the recess of the faceplate, the side wings will contact the tongue. When the cover plate is in a use position, the slots are exposed on the faceplate to allow insertion of a plug. When the cover plate is pushed forwardly such that the hooks advance along the slide grooves until the tongue is completely received in the indentation, the side wings will cover the slots respectively to ensure safety and prevent entry of dust into the slots.
