A giga-bit interface converter (GBIC) includes a base (1) and a revertible shielding door (2) pivotably positioned in a front of the base. A post (24) is formed on a rear of the shielding door, and a block (14) is formed on the base. A spring beam (23) has an arcuate front end (232) and a rear end (231). The rear end is fixed on the block, and the front end sits on the post. When a complementary plug connector (27) is inserted into the GBIC, the front end of the spring beam is deformably pushed upwardly by the post. A spring force is thereby generated in the spring beam, which exerts a downward force on the post. When the plug connector is withdrawn from the GBIC, the spring force of the spring beam pushes the post down. This causes the shielding door to rotatingly return to its original position.
