Connector and method of manufacturing same

A connector comprising:

• a body of an insulating plastic material, the body including a first recess extending in a direction including a component of a first direction, a second recess extending in a direction including a component of the first direction, and a first separating portion between the first recess and the second recess;
• and
• a pair of first terminals, a second terminal, a third terminal, and a fourth terminal that are held at least partially in the body and spaced from each other along the first direction, wherein
• the first terminals are differential signal terminals being adjacent to each other and extending in a direction including a component of a second direction crossing the first direction, the first terminals each including a first exposed portion,
• the first exposed portion of each first terminal includes an entire area in the first direction of a first part in the second direction of the first terminal and is exposed to an outside of the body through the first recess thereof,
• the second terminal is a ground terminal or a low-speed signal terminal to transmit a signal at a lower speed than the first terminals, the second terminal extending in a direction including a component of the second direction so as to be located next to one of the first terminals on one side in the first direction, the second terminal including a first unexposed portion and a first exposed portion,
• the first unexposed portion of the second terminal includes an area on one side in the first direction of a first part in the second direction of the second terminal and is covered with the body,
• the first exposed portion of the second terminal includes an area on the other side in the first direction of the first part of the second terminal and is exposed to the outside of the body through the first recess thereof,
• the third terminal is a ground terminal or a low-speed signal terminal to transmit a signal at a lower speed than the first terminals, the third terminal extending in a direction including a component of the second direction so as to be located next to the other first terminal on the other side in the first direction, the third terminal including a first exposed portion,
• the first exposed portion of the third terminal includes at least an area on one side in the first direction of a first part in the second direction of the third terminal and is exposed to the outside of the body through the first recess thereof,
• the fourth terminal extends in a direction including a component of the second direction so as to be located on the one side in the first direction relative to the second terminal, the fourth terminal including a first exposed portion,
• the first exposed portion of the fourth terminal includes an entire or partial area in the first direction of a first part in the second direction of the fourth terminal and is exposed to the outside of the body through the second recess thereof.
