Abstract
The electrical connector in accordance with the present invention comprises: contact pieces having contacts and terminal portions, a connector body which houses and holds the contact pieces; a casing shield frame unit; and arms each having one end secured to the lateral wall portions of the shield frame unit and the other end, or free end, at which contacts are formed. The contacts which come in contact with a counter electrical connector, may be displaced inside of the shield frame unit, thus minimizing the height of the electrical connector as mounted on a printed circuit board.
