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 inside of an opening for fitting formed in an insulating housing of the electric connector, comprising:
- an opening end edge of a conductive shell covering the insulating housing from outside thereof is disposed to extend along an outer surface of an opening end edge forming the opening for fitting of the insulating housing, wherein,an engaging projection projecting along a fitting direction used with the mating connector is provided at 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 without projection from the outer surface of the conductive shell so that the insulating housing and the conductive shell are fixed to each other in a direction orthogonal to the fitting direction used with the mating connector, wherebyboth the opening end edges are disposed at approximately the same position as in a fitting direction of both the connectors.

Abstract
An electric connector makes it possible to achieve downsizing excellently to improve electric connection reliability by preventing deformation when fitting to a mating connector. An engaging projection projecting is provided on an opening end edge of either an insulating housing or a conductive shell. An engaging hole into which the engaging projection is inserted is provided on the other opening end edge. The insulating housing and the conductive shell are fixed to each other in a direction orthogonal to the fitting direction by inserting the engaging projection into the engaging hole so that rigidity is largely increased. The fixation mechanism of the insulating housing and the conductive shell do not project inside the insulating housing so that it is possible to reduce the height and make pitches narrow.
