Claim:
1. A substrate-connecting electric connector configured so as to be mated with a counterpart connector in a state in which the electric connector is mounted on a wiring substrate, the substrate-connecting electric connector comprising a mating guide member made of metal, that is attached respectively to both of two end parts in a longitudinal direction of an insulating housing so as to regulate a position of mating with the counterpart connector and is provided so as to provide a portion visually checked in the mating operation by projecting beyond an end edge portion of the wiring substrate; the mating guide member made of metal, which provides the portion visually checked in the mating operation by projecting beyond the end edge portion of the wiring substrate, has a guide surface that contacts part of the counterpart connector and slides toward a predetermined position upon mating with the counterpart connector, a cover surface continuously extended from the guide surface so as to cover each of said both end parts of the insulating housing; and the cover surface has a cover principal surface that is disposed so as to face the counterpart connector upon mating with the counterpart connector, a cover end surface that covers a longitudinal-direction end surface of the insulating housing, and cover lateral surfaces that cover both of two end surfaces in a housing-width direction of the insulating housing, the housing-width direction being orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the insulating housing.
