Abstract
An electric connector receptacle comprises an insulating housing having a plug inserting end, a rear end on the side opposite thereto, a plug inserting hole extending inwardly from the plug inserting end and four side walls surrounding the plug inserting hole, and a plurality of contacts arranged at intervals in the insulating housing. Each contact has a spring contact portion, an intermediate portion, and a mounting portion. The insulating housing has a plurality of compartment grooves which receive, from the side of the rear end, the connecting portions of the spring contact portions and the intermediate portions of the contacts at positions adjacent to the plug inserting end inside the side wall, contact inserting holes that lead from the rear end to the plurality of compartment grooves, and a plurality of vertical mounting grooves near the rear end to receive the mounting portions of the contacts from the side of the rear end. The front ends of the vertical mounting grooves serve as positioning grooves which receive the ends of the spring contact portions of the contacts and place them in position.
