Claim:
An electric connector which is provided with a connector main body including an insulating housing and a conductive shell attached to the insulating housing, and wherein said electric connector is configured such that turning shaft portions of a fit-turning arm are turnably attached to bearing portions formed at both end portions of the connector main body, and when a mating connector has been fitted to the connector main body, a fitted state with the mating connector is held by turning of the fit-turning arm to a fit-acting position, wherein cam portions turning approximately concentrically with the turning shaft portions are provided at the turning shaft portions of the fit-turning arm, cam-biasing devices which come in pressure contact with the cam portions to bias the fit-turning arm in a turning manner are provided on the connector main body, the cam-biasing devices are configured to bias the cam portions in the turning manner in a direction of moving the fit-turning arm toward the fit-acting position, and the cam portions are formed integrally with the turning shaft portions of the fit-turning arm by twisting end portions of the turning shaft portions in an axial direction thereof approximately concentrically.
