A socket terminal includes a front connection portion that comes into contact with a plug terminal, in which a recess having an inner wall is formed in a contact surface that comes into contact with the front connection portion. The front connection portion is locked on the inner wall by coming into contact with the inner wall when moving in a direction in which the plug terminal is pulled out from the socket terminal. The front connection portion also includes a contact edge that wipes impurities off the contact surface. An electrical connection between the socket terminal and the plug terminal can be maintained by locking the socket terminal on the inner wall even with an application of vibrations in directions in which the plug terminal is inserted and pulled out. Since the contact edge can remove the impurities, the electrical connection between the terminals can be stabilized.

Electric connector

Electrical connector

A connector which is capable of reliably shielding a connection subject article inserted in a housing from electro-magnetic waves and which can be easily produced in two types, one for inserting a connection subject article in one vertical direction and the other for inserting it in another direction. Since a ground shell () is formed to cover the upper and lower surfaces and opposite side surfaces of a housing (), a cable () in the housing () can be electrically shielded in any of the directions of the upper surface, lower surface and opposite side surfaces of the housing (), thus greatly improving the electromagnetic interference prevention effect. In this case, since the upper surface and lower surface of the shell () are disposed on the upper surface and lower surface of the housing (), respectively, a ground contact () can be placed on the upper surface rather than on the lower surface of the shell (). For example, one type for inserting the cable () in one vertical direction and another type for inserting it in another direction can be easily produced.
