Connector with dust-proof shutter

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To prevent dust of a connector without a protection cap by having a built-in shutter mechanism in the connector. CONSTITUTION:This connector is formed entirely over an open end of a connector housing 1, and has plural holes 4a' of a first group in a position opposed to a plural electrode 2a, and is provided with a linear shutter 4a with which the electrode 2a is engaged and inserted into the hole 4a' of the first group when pushed by a connector of an object of engagement. Also provided are plural holes 4b' of a second group that are so formed as to overlap with the linear shutter 4a and so situated as not to correspond normally with the hole 4a' of the first group, and a rotating shutter 4b which rotates until the hole 4b' of a second group comes to the same position as that of the hole 4a' of the first group of the linear shutter 4a when pushed by an objective connector, thereby, a shutter mechanism 4 is constructed. In a disengaged condition, a shutter mechanism 4 is pressed to a side of an open end of a connector housing 1, while positions of holes 4a', 4b' of a linear shutter 4a and of a rotating shutter 4b do not correspond each other respectively, to be cut off from the outside. A dust-proof effect can thus be obtained.
