Claim 14:
15. A receptacle to be coupled to a connector, the receptacle comprising: a base structure comprising a first surface, a second surface facing away from the first surface and mounted on a printed circuit board, and a side surface surrounding a space between the first surface and the second surface, wherein the side surface comprises: a first side surface, a second side surface extending from the first side surface in a vertical direction, a third side surface extending from the second side surface in a direction parallel to the first side surface, and a fourth side surface extending from the third side surface in a direction parallel to the second side surface, and wherein the base structure comprises an edge area and an island area defined by a recess having a predetermined depth from the first surface toward the second surface; multiple first conductive terminals disposed side by side between the first side surface and the island area and between the third side surface and the island area, respectively; and a first conductive member disposed between the multiple first conductive terminals and the second side surface, wherein the first conductive member comprises: a first portion disposed in the edge area adjacent to the second side surface, a second portion extending from at least a portion of the first portion to a portion of the edge area adjacent to the first side surface, a third portion extending from at least a portion of the first portion to a portion of the edge area adjacent to the third side surface, a fourth portion extending from at least a portion of the first portion to the recess, a fifth portion extending from at least a portion of the fourth portion to at least a portion of the island area, a pair of second conductive terminals extending from at least a portion of the fourth portion toward the first side surface and the second side surface, respectively, and a pair of third conductive terminals extending from the second portion and the third portion, respectively, toward the island area, and wherein, when a connector is connected to the receptacle, the second conductive terminals and the third conductive terminals are disposed to provide pressing forces to the connector in opposite directions.
