Electrical connector improved in electromagnetic shielding effect while suppressing an increase in external dimensions

摘要

An electrical connector comprises a metal shell defining an opening for inserting a connection counterpart therethrough. The electrical connector has a cantilever spring extending from an end, on the opening side, of the metal shell and folded back outward. The cantilever spring has a free end portion passing through a hole formed in the metal shell, and extending to the inside of the metal shell. Preferably, the metal shell has a top surface and a bottom surface facing each other and the cantilever spring is provided to at least one of the top surface and the bottom surface.
