Electric connector

An electric connector comprising:

• a first connector mounted on a circuit board surface;
• and
• a second connector connected to electric wires, wherein
• the first connector includes
• a first housing including an insertion portion into which the second connector is inserted from a direction perpendicular to the circuit board surface,
• a plurality of first contacts arranged in the insertion portion, and
• first lock metal fittings provided at both ends of an arranging direction of the first contacts of the first housing, having elasticity, and preventing removal of the second connector,
• the second connector includes
• a second housing inserted into the insertion portion of the first connector,
• a plurality of second contacts connected to the plurality of first contacts, and
• a second lock metal fitting engaged with the first lock metal fittings,
• the electric wires are inserted into the second connector in a direction parallel to the circuit board surface, and in a direction perpendicular to an arranging direction of the second contacts, and
• the second lock metal fitting includes lock engaging portions provided at both ends of the arranging direction of the second contacts of the second housing, and a coupling portion coupling the lock engaging portions at a side of the second housing in which the electric wires are inserted.
