Patent ID: 7896699

Claim:
An interface connector that fits and electrically connects with an electronic component to be inserted from an open side, the interface connector comprising: a shield case into which the electronic component to be inserted from a fitting slot fits; a housing which is covered by the shield case; and a plurality of contacts which are aligned in a direction orthogonal to an insertion direction in the housing inside the shield case, wherein: the plurality of contacts each comprise: an elastic arm part at a tip portion of which a contact point part connected with each of a plurality of terminals in the inserted electronic component is provided and which extends along the insertion direction; and a lead part which is formed continuing from a base end side of the elastic arm part and which projects outside from an outer surface part of a depth side that is an insertion direction side of the housing; the contact point part and the elastic arm part are each formed in same shapes between the plurality of contacts, and are aligned in a row, facing a same direction inside the housing; each lead part of the plurality of contacts projects from the outer surface part, alternately in a direction orthogonal to both the insertion direction and the direction in which the contacts are aligned in a row, and in a direction opposite to a direction in which lead parts of contacts adjacent in the direction in which the contacts are aligned in a row project; the elastic arm part is arranged inclining toward the contact point part inside the housing; and at an end part of an inclining direction side of the elastic arm part, a convex part projecting in the inclining direction is formed.
