ELECTRIC CONNECTOR
First Claim
1. An electric connector which is configured such that a mating connector is appropriately inserted in a fitting direction through an opening for fitting formed in an insulating housing of the electric connector, wherean opening end edge of a conductive shell covering the insulating housing is disposed to extend along an outer surface of an opening end edge forming the opening for fitting of the insulating housing, whereinan engaging projection projecting along a fitting direction with the mating connector is provided on one of the opening end edges of the insulating housing and the conductive shell,an engaging hole, into which the engaging projection is inserted in the fitting direction, is provided on the other of the opening end edges of the insulating housing and the conductive shell, andthe engaging projection is inserted into the engaging hole so that the insulating housing and the conductive shell are fixed to each other in a direction orthogonal to the fitting direction with the mating connector.

Abstract
An electric connector that is configured simply and makes it possible to achieve thinning or downsizing excellently as well as improves electric connection reliability by preventing deformation at a fitting time to a mating connector.
An engaging projection 21c projecting in a fitting direction is provided on an opening end edge 21b of one of an insulating housing 21 and a conductive shell 24, while an engaging hole 24c into which the engaging projection 21c is inserted in a fitting direction is provided on the other of an opening end edge 24b, the insulating housing 21 and the conductive shell 24 are fixed to each other in a direction orthogonal to the fitting direction by such simple work as inserting the engaging projection 21c into the engaging hole 24c so that rigidity in the direction is largely increased, as well as the fixation mechanism of the insulating housing 21 and the conductive shell 24 is configured so as not to project inside the insulating housing 21 so that it is made possible to reduce the height and make pitches narrow.
