Abstract
A plurality of first and second type contact terminals (11 and 11-1) of a multi way connector, which have the same length of transmission path, are fitted in first and second terminal fit portions (19 and 19-1), respectively at a predetermined interval. The lead portions (22 and 22-1) of the contact terminals (19 and 19-1) project on the same side in a non-longitudinal direction of the connector. A pair of the contact terminals (19 and 19-1) constitutes a signal terminal 20 and another pair of contact terminals (19 and 19-1) constitutes a ground terminal 20-1, wherein the signal and ground terminal 20 and 20-1 are provided alternately in a longitudinal direction of the connector.
