Connector for connecting antenna and electronic device having the same

An electronic device comprising:

• a wireless communication circuit;
• and
• a universal serial bus (USB) connector including:
• a housing forming an outer surface of the connector,
• an opening formed in at least a portion of the outer surface to allow an external connector to be coupled to the connector in a first direction or a second direction, and
• a board disposed inside the opening, the board having a first surface on which a plurality of first pins corresponding to the first direction are arranged and a second surface on which a plurality of second pins corresponding to the second direction are arranged,
• wherein the plurality of first pins include one or more first ground pins and one or more first signal pins,
• wherein the plurality of second pins include one or more second ground pins and one or more second signal pins,
• wherein the one or more first ground pins include at least one first ground pin selectively connectable with a ground and the wireless communication circuit, and
• wherein the one or more second ground pins include at least one second ground pin corresponding to the second direction of the at least one first ground pin, the at least one second ground pin selectively connectable with the ground and the wireless communication circuit.
