An electrical connector which can prevent damage to a protective wall is disclosed. The protective wall protects contact sections of the contacts and protrudes into the interior of the cavity in the housing to avoid damage to the contact sections, during the twist-insertion of the mating connector. The electrical connector A comprises a housing 10 that is formed of an insulating material and contacts 20 that are attached to the housing 10 . The housing 10 has a cavity 31 that receives the mating connector B. The protective wall 12 that protects the contact sections 22 of the contacts 20 is integrally provided with the housing 10 so that this protective wall 12 protrudes from the bottom portion of the cavity 31 into the interior of the cavity 31 . A metal plate 40 that covers at least portions of the surfaces of the protective wall 12 is provided.
