Claim 19:
20. 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; a first conductive member disposed between the multiple first conductive terminals and the second side surface, wherein the first conductive member comprises: 35 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, a pair of third conductive terminals extending from the second portion and the third portion, respectively, toward the island area; and a second conductive member disposed between the multiple first conductive terminals and the fourth side surface, wherein the second conductive member comprises: a sixth portion disposed in the edge area adjacent to the fourth side surface, a seventh portion extending from at least a portion of the sixth portion to a portion of the edge area adjacent to the first side surface, an eighth portion extending from at least a portion of the sixth portion to a portion of the edge area adjacent to the third side surface, a ninth portion extending from at least a portion of the sixth portion to the recess, a tenth portion extending from at least a portion of the ninth portion to at least a portion of the island area, a pair of fourth conductive terminals extending from at least a portion of the ninth portion toward the first side surface and the second side surface, respectively, and a pair of fifth conductive terminals extending from the seventh portion and the eighth 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, and when the connector is connected to the receptacle, the fourth conductive terminals and the fifth conductive terminals are disposed to provide pressing forces to the connector in opposite directions.
