CONNECTOR AND CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

A connector comprises a shell fixed portion connected to a shell, a ground contact and a differential pair consisting of two signal contacts. The ground contact has a ground fixed portion. Each signal contact has a signal fixed portion. The shell fixed portion, the signal fixed portions and the ground fixed portion are fixed to the circuit board when the connector is used. The shell fixed portion, one of the signal fixed portions, a remaining one of the signal fixed portions, the ground fixed portion form a fixed-portion group in which they are adjacent to one another in this order. Moreover, the ground fixed portion and the signal fixed portions are arranged in a row along a pitch direction. When the fixed-portion group is seen along the pitch direction, at least a part of the shell fixed portion occupies an area same as a part of the signal fixed portion.
