An electrical receptacle connector comprising:
- a shielding case;
- an insulator accommodated in the shielding case;
- and
- contacts, each of the contacts having a straight contact portion arranged on and along a terminal supporting part of the insulator, each said straight contact portion having a straight end tip portion with a guide surface,
- wherein a clearance is provided between a tapered surface at an end portion of the terminal supporting part and a surface of the straight end tip portion of the contact, the tapered surface of the end portion of the terminal supporting part extending to an a end of the terminal supporting part, an entirety of the tapered surface of the end portion of the terminal supporting part being inclined with respect to an entirety of the surface of the straight end tip portion of the contact such that the clearance reaches a largest width at the end of the terminal supporting part, and the clearance increases toward the tip end of the terminal supporting part so as to have a wedge shape.
