Electric connector having a receiving portion for receiving plying force when the connector is coupled to a mating connector

摘要

In an electric connector (1) including a conductive shell fitting portion (33) to be fitted to a mating connector, a receiving portion (41) is arranged within the shell fitting portion to receive a load by plying force between the electric connector and the mating connector. It is preferable that a housing (21) is coupled to the shell fitting portion and that a conductive contact (11) is held by the housing. In this case, the receiving portion has a flat shape with its one end coupled to the housing and the other end coupled to the shell fitting portion. The receiving portion may be made of a metal material or a resin material.
