Board-connecting electric connector

A board-connecting electric connector comprising:

• a plurality of contact members attached to an insulating housing, the contact members being arranged so as to form a multipolar shape in a connector longitudinal direction;
• a contact connecting portion provided in each of the contact members so as to extend in a connector width direction and electrically connected to a wiring board side;
• a shield wall portion composed of an electrically-conductive member opposed to the contact connecting portion via a spatial part in the connector width direction, the shield wall portion being provided so as to extend along the connector longitudinal direction;
• a plurality of ground connecting portions electrically connected to the wiring board and formed in the shield wall portion along the connector longitudinal direction, each of the ground connecting portions disposed in a part between the contact connecting portions adjacent to each other in the connector longitudinal direction;
• and
• a lateral check window composed of space enabling visual check of the contact connecting portion in the connector width direction, the lateral check window being formed in an interval region in which the ground connecting portions are adjacent to each other in the connector longitudinal direction, wherein
• the shield wall portion is provided with a planar cover partially covering, approximately in parallel with the wiring board, a surface of the insulating housing,
• a plurality of cover coupling portions coupled to the insulating housing are provided in the planar cover along the connector longitudinal direction,
• the cover coupling portion is disposed in a part between the contact connecting portions adjacent to each other in the connector longitudinal direction, and
• a planar check window composed of a space enabling visual check of the contact connecting portion in a direction orthogonal to the wiring board is formed in an interval region in which the cover coupling portions are adjacent to each other the connector longitudinal direction.
