Abstract: To well prevent a conductive contact from being peeled off with a simple structure, a rear end portion of the conductive contact to which a cable-shaped signal transmission medium is coupled is directly held by a contact engaging part. Even when an external force due to so-called flapping or the like is added from the cable-shaped signal transmission medium to the conductive contact, the conductive contact is well prevented from being peeled off. Also, a guide inclined surface for positioning the cable-shaped signal transmission medium is provided at the contact engaging part, and the cable-shaped signal transmission medium can be stably mounted along the guide inclined surface of the contact engaging part, thereby easily and accurately performing operations at the time of mounting, such as positioning.

Abstract: To allow electromagnetic shielding regarding a connecting portion between conductive contacts and a main wiring board to be excellently achieved with a simple structure without impairing productivity, a fit-in holding member being rotated from a fit-in releasing position to a fit-in acting position to maintain a state where connectors fit in together by rotation is provided with a conductive cover part covering a connecting portion between a counterpart connector and the main wiring board when the fit-in holding member is rotated to the fit-in acting position, and the connecting portion is covered with the conductive cover part. Electromagnetic shielding of that portion is performed simultaneously with the time when both of the connectors fit in together, thereby eliminating an increase in the number of manufacturing processes.

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.
