To provide an electrical connector in which the protruding margin of contacts held on the bottom surface of a cavity can be easily controlled. A receptacle connector (10) includes a plurality of contacts (40), and a housing (20) that holds the contacts (40). The housing (20) has holding walls (30) that hold the contacts (40) penetrating therethrough, and receiving cavities (25) to (28) that are formed in front of the holding walls (30) and receive a mating connector. The housing (20) further has protrusions (35) protruding from the bottom surfaces of the holding walls (30) facing the receiving cavities (25 to 28). A top surface (35U) of the protrusion (35) serving as a reference surface for the protruding margin of the contacts (40) has a small area, and therefore, no distortion occurs, or any distortion can be easily eliminated. Therefore, with the receptacle connector (10), each contact (40) can easily have a required protruding margin to ensure an adequate length of connection to a mating contact. |
