Electrical connector having a plurality of contacts with insulation covering a portion of contact to create different contact timings

摘要

In a connector having a first and a second contact, the second contact has a portion covered with an insulating member. The insulating member causes contact timings of the first and the second contacts relative to a counterpart connector to be staggered from each other. The first and the second contacts are held by a housing which is attachable and detachable relative to the counterpart connector. It is preferable that the first and the second contacts have chamfered portions, respectively, and that one of the chamfered portions is covered with the foregoing insulating member.
