Abstract:
1. An electrical connector configured so that a signal transmission medium comes to be inserted to or removed from an interior space between an upper-side inner wall surface and a lower-side inner wall surface of a medium insertion path formed so as to be surrounded by an inner wall surface of an insulating housing, and configured so that, when a latch lock part(s) is moved to an engagement position with respect to an engagement position determining part of the signal transmission medium inserted in the medium insertion path, the latch lock part retains the signal transmission medium; wherein part of the upper-side inner wall surface of the medium insertion path facing a first-side surface of the signal transmission medium is provided with a reference abutting surface that abuts the upper first-side surface of the signal transmission medium, and the reference abutting surface is formed so as to form a stepped shape projecting toward the upper first-side surface of the signal transmission medium compared with other part of the upper-side inner wall surface of the medium insertion path facing the upper first-side surface of the signal transmission medium, the latch lock part is in an arrangement relating that the latch lock part is placed over an upper-side surface of the signal transmission medium and elastically displaced, the reference abutting surface is formed at part of the upper-side inner wall surface of the medium insertion path facing the upper-side surface of the signal transmission medium, and the reference abutting surface is positioned in a lower side with respect to the other part of upper-side inner wall surface so as to form the stepped shape.
