Abstract: In a connector receptacle which is mounted on a printed circuit board, a pair of protection protrusions is formed to protrude outward in a insertion direction of a plug from a rear end of a bottom board of a metal shell. A plurality of terminals held on a plug holder is arranged between the protection protrusions in a widthwise direction in a cut portion of the bottom board, so that twisting force acting of the connector receptacle is mainly received by the protection protrusions, and thus, the terminals are protected from peeling off from the printed circuit board. A pair of slits is formed along an extension line of the rear end on the bottom board, so that melted solder for fixing the connector receptacle on the printed circuit board rarely diffused to a lower face of the bottom board.

Abstract: In a connector receptacle (1) which is mounted on a printed circuit board (30), a pair of protection protrusions (21) is formed to protrude outward in an insertion direction (X) of a plug from a rear end (13a) of a bottom board (13) of a metal shell (11). A plurality of terminals (10) held on a plug holder (8) is arranged between the protection protrusions (21) in a widthwise direction (Y) in a cut portion (12) of the bottom board (13), so that twisting force acting of the connector receptacle (1) is mainly received by the protection protrusions (21), and thus, the terminals (10) are protected from peeling off from the printed circuit board (30). A pair of slits (22) is formed along an extension line of the rear end (13a) on the bottom board (13), so that melted solder for fixing the connector receptacle (1) on the printed circuit board (30) rarely diffused to a lower face of the bottom board (13).
