Claim Text:
1. A plug connector which is configured such that a terminal portion of a flat signal-transmission medium is attached to a conductive shell so as to project from the conductive shell and a first part including a terminal portion of the flat signal-transmission medium is inserted into an opposing connector, wherein a medium receiving space defined in a fixed state in which a terminal portion of the flat signal-transmission medium is inserted is formed in the conductive shell, a retaining engaging pawl which holds the flat signal-transmission medium by being engaged with a second part of the flat signal-transmission medium inserted into the medium receiving space is provided in the conductive shell, the retaining engaging pawl is supported in a manner where elastic displacement is possible in a direction orthogonal to an insertion direction of the flat signal-transmission medium, the retaining engaging pawl is displaced elastically by a second part of the flat signal-transmission medium inserted into the medium receiving space abutting on the retaining engaging pawl, the retaining engaging pawl is engaged with the second part of the flat signal-transmission medium by an elastically returning bias force of the retaining engaging pawl at that time, an abutting elastic spring part which abuts on a third part of the flat signal-transmission medium inserted into the medium receiving space of the conductive shell and is displaced elastically in the insertion direction is provided in the conductive shell, and wherein the flat signal-transmission medium is configured to be pressed against the retaining engaging pawl side by an elastically returning bias force of the abutting elastic spring part.
