A retaining terminal structure of a connector is for serving as a retaining terminal that provides retaining and positioning effects when assembling a connector. The retaining terminal as a formed integral by metal extrusion includes an L-shaped corner portion; a butting portion formed at a top portion thereof and for serving as butting ground guidance with a connected connector, so as to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD); and a retaining portion formed at a side thereof and for serving as a retaining member when the retaining terminal is corresponded and assembled. Using the integrated structure of the retaining terminal having ground guidance, and retaining and positioning effects, a number of terminals and retaining components at an interior of the connector is reduced, thereby decreasing steps and production expenses needed for assembly of the connector.
