Electrical Connector With A Cover Structure As Well As A Mating Connector And A Connector Assembly
Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical connector (1) comprising at least one contact element (16) and a cover structure (20) for restricting access to the at least one contact element (16), wherein the cover structure (20) comprises a wall element (22) at least partially surrounding the at least one contact element (16) in a spaced apart manner, thereby defining a reception zone (28) between the wall element (22) and the at least one contact element (16), and a cover element (30), which is movable within the reception zone (28) along a retraction direction (36) from a secured position (32) to a retracted position (34), wherein the at least one contact element (16) is enclosed by the cover element (30) in the secured position (32), and wherein the wall element (22) comprises at least one deflectable latch member (38) for securing the cover element (30) in the secured position (32). Due to the movability of the cover element (30), the cover structure (20) may form a gapless finger protection for the at least one contact element (16), which yet allows access to the mating contact (64) of a mating connector (2). The cover element (30) is further configurable for automatic retraction, thereby eliminating the necessity for additional steps during the mating process. The invention further relates to a mating connector as well as a connector assembly. (Figure 2)
