Electric connector adapted for connecting with a mated connector by virtue of magnetic attraction

An electric connector, comprising:

• an insulating housing having a base board, top and bottom edges of the base board extending rearward to form a top board and a bottom board, two side boards extending rearward from two ends of a rear surface of the base board, the rear surface of the base board further protruding rearward to form a terminal body, a receiving space being formed among the base board, the side boards, the top board and the bottom board, the terminal body located in the receiving space, the insulating housing defining a plurality of inserting holes each penetrating through the base board and the terminal body along a front-to-rear direction;
• a plurality of probe terminals inserted forward in the inserting holes of the insulating housing respectively;
• a magnet unit including a plurality of magnets stood together to show a shape matched with the receiving space of the insulating housing for being assembled in the receiving space;
• and
• a metal shell mounted to the insulating housing to enclose the insulating housing and the magnet unit, the metal shell further electrically resisting against rear sides of the magnets to secure the magnet unit in the insulating housing.
