Abstract
In a typical connector, one or more ground terminals need to be, in addition to signal terminals, arranged between signal terminals formed in pairs or between one signal terminal pair and the other signal terminal pair. This leads to a problem that the number of components forming the connector is increased and an internal structure of the connector is complicated. A connector is provided, which is a substrate-side connector including two terminal groups arranged along a connector fitting direction to face each other, an insulator holding the terminal groups, and an outer conductor shell housing the insulator. In the substrate-side connector, a shell mounting portion for mounting the outer conductor shell on a substrate is, passing through between the two terminal groups, mounted between a mounting portion for a group of terminals of multiple terminals included in one terminal group and a mounting portion for a group of the terminals of multiple terminals included in the other terminal group. With this configuration, the shell mounting portion of the outer conductor shell can function as a ground terminal.
