An electrical connector with improved high frequency performance. The connector has conductive elements, forming both signal and ground conductors, that have multiple points of contact distributed along an elongated dimension. The ground conductors may be formed with multiple beams of different length. The signal conductors may be formed with multiple contact regions on a single beam, with different characteristics. Signal conductors may have beams that are jogged to provide both a desired impedance and mating contact pitch. Additionally, electromagnetic radiation, inside and/or outside the connector, may be shaped with an insert electrically connecting multiple ground structures and/or a contact feature coupling ground conductors to a stiffener. The conductive elements in different columns may be shaped differently to reduce crosstalk.

Provided is a connector which includes: a plurality of terminals; additional members configured to maintain a state of being mated with a counterpart connector; and a housing, in which the additional members each include a first lock portion and second lock portions, the housing includes first side wall portions each holding the first lock portion, and second side wall portions each holding the second lock portions, the first lock portion includes a curved surface protruding relative to a front surface of the first side wall portion, the second lock portion includes a curved surface protruding relative to a front surface of the second side wall portion, the first lock portion is divided in a direction orthogonal to the first side wall portion, and the second lock portion extends in a direction orthogonal to the first lock portion, on each side of the first lock portion.

Provided is a board-to-board socket, comprising a socket body, a socket terminal, and a socket reinforcing member; said socket body comprises a bottom wall, socket side walls formed by protruding upward from two longitudinal ends of the bottom wall, socket guide parts formed at two lateral ends of the socket body, and an island part; the socket guide part comprises a plug guide part receiving cavity, a longitudinal peripheral wall, and a pair of lateral peripheral walls; the socket reinforcing member comprises a main body part covering surface of the longitudinal peripheral wall, lateral peripheral wall covering parts which extend from two longitudinal sides of the main body part in the lateral direction and cover the lateral peripheral walls, a protection part formed by bending and extending inward from top ends of the lateral peripheral wall covering parts, and an elastic arm part continuously extending from the protection part.

A socket connector includes a housing having a pin access opening through a bottom open to a cavity configured to receive a pin. The socket connector includes a socket in the cavity electrically connected to a pin. The socket connector includes a latch movably received in a latch pocket to engage the pin to secure the socket connector to the pin. The latch includes a latch release accessible exterior of the housing to release the latch. The latch release moves the latch between a latched position and a clearance position. A latching rib of the latch engages the pin in the latched position and is released from the pin in the clearance position to allow uncoupling of the socket connector from the pin.
