PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve distortion resistance of a connector upon insertion to a mating connector. SOLUTION: An electric connector and a method includes the connector 14, and a matching member 22 being adjacent to or coming in contact with a fitting end 20 of the connector 14 in order to prevent distortion of the fitting end 20. The fitting end 20 of the connector 14 is a male or female type, and has a shape of a post, a tube, a blade, a pin or the other structure. The matching member 22 made from a matching material is, for example, a material of elastomer, epoxy material, or a rubber type material, and formed and positioned so as to come in contact with the fitting end 20 of the connector 14, and prevents distortion of the fitting end 20 by providing support during assembling. The matching member 22 has a shape of a quadrangle, a wedge shape, a cylinder, a cone, an annulus or the other structure required to support a connector pin 14. The matching member 22 is mounted on the fitting end 20 with an adhesive in order to further prevent its distortion. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
