Claim:
1. An electrical connector, comprising: terminals, wherein the terminals include a pair of first terminals, a second terminal, a third terminal, and a fourth terminal spaced from each other along a first direction, the first direction being an arraying direction of the first, second, third, and fourth terminals, the first terminals being differential signal terminals being elongated in a second direction and adjacent to each other in the first direction, the second direction crossing the first direction, the second terminal being a ground terminal elongated in the second direction or a low-speed signal terminal elongated in the second direction to transmit a signal at a lower speed than the first terminals, the second terminal being located next to one of the first terminals on one side in the first direction, the third terminal being a ground terminal elongated in the second direction or a low-speed signal terminal elongated in the second direction to transmit a signal at a lower speed than the first terminals, the third terminal being located next to the other first terminal on the other side in the first direction, the fourth terminal being elongated in the second direction and located on the one side in the first direction relative to the second terminal; and a body of an insulating plastic material, the body holding the arrayed first, second, third, and fourth terminals at least partially and including a first recess, a second recess, a first separating portion, and a first face on one side in a third direction, the third direction being a thickness direction of the body and crossing the first direction and the second direction, wherein the first recess opens through the first face of the body and crosses the first terminals, the second recess opens through the first face of the body, the first separating portion is located between the first recess and the second recess, the first terminals each include a first exposed portion, the first exposed portion of each first terminal is a portion in the second direction of the first terminal, extends from one end to the other end in the first direction of the first terminal, and is exposed to an outside of the body through the first recess thereof, the second terminal includes a first part that is a portion in the second direction of the second terminal and that extends from one end to the other end in the first direction of the second terminal, the first part of the second terminal includes a first unexposed portion and a first exposed portion, the first unexposed portion of the second terminal is an area on one side in the first direction of the first part of the second terminal and is covered with the body so as not to be exposed out of the body, the first exposed portion of the second terminal is an area on the other side in the first direction of the first part of the second terminal and is exposed to the outside of the body through the first recess thereof, the third terminal includes a first part that is a portion in the second direction of the third terminal and that extends from one end to the other end in the first direction of the third terminal, the first part of the third terminal includes a first exposed portion, the first exposed portion of the third terminal includes at least an area on one side in the first direction of the first part of the third terminal and is exposed to the outside of the body through the first recess thereof, the fourth terminal includes a first part that is a portion in the second direction of the fourth terminal and that extends from one end to the other end in the first direction of the fourth terminal, the first part of the fourth terminal includes a first exposed portion, the first exposed portion of the fourth terminal includes an entire or partial area in the first direction of the first part of the fourth terminal and is exposed to the outside of the body through the second recess thereof.
