Patent ID: 8858254

Claim:
An electric connector comprising: an insulating housing; and a conductive contact buried in the insulating housing so as to be exposed to a surface of the insulating housing, the conductive contact extending from a rear end portion to be coupled with a terminal part of a cable-shaped signal transmission medium to a front end portion toward a fitting-in counterpart connector side; wherein the insulating housing is provided with a contact engaging part covering at least a part of a rear end portion on a surface of the conductive contact exposed to the surface of the insulating housing, the contact engaging part includes a guide inclined surface facing the cable-shaped signal transmission medium from both sides in a contact width direction perpendicular to an extending direction of the conductive contact to position the cable-shaped signal transmission medium, and the guide inclined surface is disposed on each of both sides of the cable-shaped signal transmission medium in a pair, and the paired guide inclined surfaces are formed so as to be separated from each other in a direction of rising from a cable mounting surface where the cable-shaped signal transmission medium is mounted, wherein the contact engaging part includes a first end surface and a second end surface, and a length of the contact engaging part extends from the first end surface to the second end surface in the extending direction, wherein the conductive contact has a terminal edge part provided at a rear end portion of the conductive contact in the extending direction, the terminal edge part being disposed along the length of the contact engaging part between the first end and the second end, and the terminal edge part of the conductive contact is disposed at a position drawn from the rear end part of the contact engaging part to a slightly forward side.
