Abstract: A multiple connector socket is able to interface to a low bandwidth connector and a high bandwidth connector. The low bandwidth connector facilitates a low bandwidth interface, such as USB 2.0, using a miniaturized connector having low bandwidth blade contacts, such as a micro USB 2.0 connector.

Abstract: A connector terminal includes a front contact-point portion that wipes off foreign material by slidingly contacting a plug terminal and a rear contact-point portion that is conductively connected with the plug terminal. The front contact-point portion has a sliding edge that slidingly contacts the plug terminal. The rear contact-point portion includes a contact edge that is thinner than the sliding edge, has a sliding width that is less than that of the sliding edge, and is conductively connected with the plug terminal by passing a sliding path of the sliding edge. Therefore, it becomes less likely for the contact edge to contact foreign material adhered to a portion other than portions at the sliding path. Thus, conduction failure can be prevented. In addition, by providing the connector terminal, it is possible to provide a socket that can similarly prevent conduction failure caused by foreign material.
