Patent attributes
The present invention provides a connector shutter which makes it possible to reduce the space between the connector and the shutters. The connector shutters are installed in the housing of an electronic device so that the mating recesses of the connector are opened and closed by these connector shutters. These connector shutters are caused to pivot as a result of the tip ends of the connector shutters being contacted by the guide parts of the mating connector, so that the mating recesses of the connector are opened. The pivoting shafts of the connector shutters are disposed facing the end surfaces and of the connector at both ends of the connector with respect to the lengthwise direction, and the contact parts of the tip ends of the shutters that are contacted by the guide parts include protruding parts that protrude further than the other portions of these tip ends.
