An electrical connector includes a contact pin to be connected to a core wire of a coaxial cable, an insulating housing for holding the contact pin therein, a cylindrical outer contact covering the housing and a crimping member for attaching the outer contact to the coaxial cable. A base end portion of the outer contact is located between an inner insulator layer and an outer conductor layer of the coaxial cable. The outer contact is attached to the coaxial cable by crimping the crimping member onto the outer conductor layer of the coaxial cable located on the base end portion of the outer contact.

Electrical connector which can prevent deformation of core wire of coaxial cable caused by applied pressure onto the coaxial cable at time of crimping outer contact onto the coaxial cable

An electrical connector includes contact pins, insulating housings for containing the contact pins therein and metallic outer contacts for respectively covering the housings. Each of the contact pins includes a horizontally extending portion, a contact portion, a connection portion, a downwardly extending portion and a press-fitting shoulder extending from a side portion of a base end portion of the horizontally extending portion in a width direction thereof. A width of the press-fitting shoulder of each of the contact pins decreases from a base side toward a tip side.
