Abstract
An electric connector includes an insulating body, wherein connection parts to be connected with counterpart connectors are arranged in the height direction, a conductive outer wall shell put on the body and having an opening on the front side, and a conductive inner wall shell for partitioning the connection parts. Both the ends, in the width direction, of the intermediate part of the inner wall shell are extended to fasten to the outer wall shell, and at least one end is formed into an approximately-U-shaped thrust-in part rising from the front side toward the rear side when seen in the width direction, and two top ends on the rear side of the thrust-in part are fastened into two slits formed in the outer wall shell. Thereby, the coupling strength between the outer and inner wall shells and the anti-prying strength against prying forces exerted by counterpart connectors are enhanced significantly, and the electric connector is reliably prevented from being damaged.
