Claim Text:
1. An electric connector for being mounted on a wiring board so as to connect a signal transmission medium to a wiring board side, the electric connector being configured so that an actuator pinches the signal transmission medium by being moved to a connection acting position so as to face the wiring board, wherein said actuator is mounted on an insulating housing so as to be able to reciprocate, a plurality of conductive contacts, including a first conductive contact and a second conductive contact in contact with the signal transmission medium and the wiring board, are disposed in the insulating housing in a multi-polar manner, the first conductive contact and the second conductive contact having different shapes and alternately arranged in the multi-polar direction, the first and second conductive contacts each have a board connecting part jointed to the wiring board by soldering, wherein the actuator is provided with a protective projection protruding toward the wiring board with the actuator being moved to the connection acting position so as to form a step on an operation-side outer end face of the actuator, and wherein the protective projection forming the step, which has a length over a part of a span of a length of the actuator in a direction perpendicular to the multi-polar arrangement direction, is disposed at a portion between the adjacent board connecting parts of the first conductive contacts in the multi-polar arrangement direction with the actuator being moved to the connection acting position, and in the state that the protective projection being disposed at a position between the adjacent board connecting parts of the first conductive contacts,
