To effectively prevent damage and position displacement of a die to provide an electric connector having a shield housing space with accurately-controlled shape and size. The electric connector includes a housing having a base and a plate-shaped body, multiple first terminals provided on one plate surface of the plate-shaped body and multiple second terminals provided on the other plate surface facing the one plate surface, a shield arranged among the multiple first terminals and the multiple second terminals, and a metal shell forming, between the one plate surface and the other plate surface, a fitting space in which a partner connector is to be fitted. The base has a first housing portion for housing part of the shield. The plate-shaped body has a second housing portion for housing another part of the shield. The second housing portion is communicated with the first housing portion in the direction of fitting to or release from the partner connector. The second housing portion is, in the fitting-release direction, communicated with through-holes provided at an end wall of the plate-shaped body positioned on the side of fitting to the partner connector.

In embodiments, a USB connector may include a plurality of pins on a front surface and a plurality of pins on a top surface. The pins may be oriented and positioned on the USB connector such that the USB connector may be mounted to the bottom layer of a PCB. Corresponding pins of the USB connector may be conductively connected and may be mated with corresponding pins of the PCB.

According to an embodiment, a housing of a high-speed transmission connector fitted to a connector of a counterpart substrate via a frontage. The housing of the first aspect includes: a bottom plate forming a bottom of the frontage and being provided with at least one boss on a surface opposite to the frontage side; a pair of first side walls facing each other in a first direction with the frontage sandwiched therebetween; and a pair of second side walls facing each other in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction with the frontage sandwiched therebetween. The bottom plate is provided with first through holes for tolerance measurement having inner peripheral surfaces including side wall surfaces of the first side walls in the same planes and/or second through holes for tolerance measurement having inner peripheral surfaces including side wall surfaces of the second side walls in the same planes.

A board mounting type connector includes a housing, a plurality of contact portions to be extending from the housing toward a circuit board, and a plurality of protrusions to be protruding from the housing toward the circuit board. The plurality of contact portions are aligned along a width direction at a first position in a fitting direction. The connector and a mating connector are to be fit each other in the fitting direction. The width direction intersects the fitting direction. The plurality of protrusions are aligned along the width direction at a second position in the fitting direction. A distance between the first position and a position of a center of gravity of the connector in the fitting direction is longer than a distance between the second position and the position of the center of gravity in the fitting direction.

A connector includes an insulating body and a terminal assembly. Where the terminal assembly includes a plurality of conductive terminals that are disposed side by side in the insulating body; a front end of each of the plurality of conductive terminals protrudes to form a first contact point and a second contact point, which are along a docking direction of the connector spaced apart on a same side of the each of the plurality of conductive terminals in sequence; and after the connector is docked with a docking connector, both the first contact point and the corresponding second contact point abut on a same docking terminal of the docking connector.

A connector includes a flat-plate housing made of insulating resin and including a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole, a plurality of contacts held on the housing, and a first hold-down and a second hold-down made of metal and disposed to correspond to a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole, respectively. The housing includes a CPU board opposed surface to be opposed to a CPU board. The first hold-down includes a reinforcing plate part to cover the CPU board opposed surface around the corresponding first positioning hole. The second hold-down includes a reinforcing plate part to cover the CPU board opposed surface around the corresponding second positioning hole.

A connector includes a rectangular flat-plate housing including a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole, and a contact row and a contact row held on the housing. The housing includes a first pitch side surface and a second pitch side surface on an opposite side of the first pitch side surface. The contact row and the contact row extend from the first pitch side surface to the second pitch side surface. The first positioning hole is disposed between the first pitch side surface and the contact row, and the second positioning hole is disposed between the first pitch side surface and the contact row.
