Thin electrical connector and an electronic device having a thin electrical connector

A thin electrical connector and an electronic device having a thin electrical connector. Thin electrical connector to the plug housing and that it comprises a semi-type socket, the cover member, and the holding seat reset assembly; semi-type socket is provided with a plurality of terminals; lid having a body portion, the shield portion extending outwardly from the body portion and at least one shaft formed at one end of the body portion, at least one pivot shaft provided in the electronic device housing; holding seat is provided between the semi-type socket with lid, insert the plug receiving space formed between the semi-type socket and retaining seat when flip the lid along the shaft to the position when the cover is closed, blocking the portion extending beyond the front edge of the seat holder, when the lid flipped along the shaft to the open position, the shield portion away from the front edge of the seat holder and insert the exposed space; reset assembly to provide shelter holding portion toward the seat of power; when the plug is inserted between the semi-type socket and retaining the seat, push the reset component shielding part stuck out the plug to prevent movement. The present invention can reduce the overall height of the electrical connector and increase the structural strength.
