Electric connector

Abstract

An electric connector that is configured simply and makes it possible to achieve thinning or downsizing excellently as well as improves electric connection reliability by preventing deformation at a fitting time to a mating connector. An engaging projection 21c projecting in a fitting direction is provided on an opening end edge 21b of one of an insulating housing 21 and a conductive shell 24, while an engaging hole 24c into which the engaging projection 21c is inserted in a fitting direction is provided on the other of an opening end edge 24b, the insulating housing 21 and the conductive shell 24 are fixed to each other in a direction orthogonal to the fitting direction by such simple work as inserting the engaging projection 21c into the engaging hole 24c so that rigidity in the direction is largely increased, as well as the fixation mechanism of the insulating housing 21 and the conductive shell 24 is configured so as not to project inside the insulating housing 21 so that it is made possible to reduce the height and make pitches narrow.
