Abstract
A connector whose guide sections are hardly damaged by a mating connector even if it is inserted into in a prying manner. A housing is formed with a receiving hole for receiving a plug-side connector, and two guide sections at opposite ends of the receiving hole in a contact arrangement direction, for guiding the plug-side connector in a fitting direction. A shell made of a metal plate is comprised of a first covering section that covers a first outer surface of the housing, substantially parallel to the contact arrangement direction, a second covering section that covers a second outer surface of the housing, substantially parallel to the contact arrangement direction, and two connecting sections that connect the first covering section and the second covering section, and covers opposite ends of a front of the housing. The two connecting sections are each formed with a cutout having a pair of guide surfaces opposed to each other in a direction of thickness of the housing, for guiding the plug-side connector in the fitting direction.
