Board connector and device

A board connector to be mounted on a circuit board, comprising:

• a housing including a receptacle open forward and a rear wall provided on a side opposite to a front end part where the receptacle is open;
• an outer conductor fixed to the housing through the rear wall;
• an insulating dielectric disposed inside the outer conductor;
• an inner conductor disposed inside the dielectric;
• and
• a ground spring to be connected to the outer conductor,
• the outer conductor including a flange to be disposed along the rear wall of the housing, and
• the ground spring including a mounting piece to be inserted between the rear wall and the flange,
• wherein the ground spring includes a gate-shaped mounting body portion and a plurality of connection springs projecting forward from a front edge of the mounting body portion, and the mounting piece is provided to project inward from a rear edge of the mounting body portion,
• wherein the mounting body portion includes a pair of arm portions and a coupling portion coupling the pair of arm portions, and a plurality of the connection springs are provided on each of both the pair of arm portions and the coupling portion or each of either the pair of arm portions or the coupling portion.
