<p>A connector plug (41) in which a housing (78) having a plurality of contacts (82) in a socket inserting hole (81) is covered with a metal shell section (88) of a shield case (79). The metal shell section (88) is a square tube whose axis extends in the direction where the plug (41) is plugged and elastic parts (77) are provided in the direction of insertion of the plug (41). The elastic parts (77) swell out from both sides of the metal shell section (88), or is bent so as to curve outward the lower parts of both sides of the metal shell section (88). A cut (89) is made in the bottom part of the metal shell section (88) in the direction of insertion of the plug (41) so that the section (88) is elastic. When the connector plug (41) is inserted into a connector socket (42), the section (88) is securely connected to the socket (42) and the whole structure is compact, because the section (88) is elastic due to the elastic parts (77) of the section (88) and the clearance produced when the section (88) is inserted into the socket (42) is absorbed by the cut (89).</p> |
