Patent attributes
Provided is an electric connector capable of preventing damage to a housing and deformation of a bracket even if it is miniaturized. An electric connector (10) according to the present disclosure includes: a first connector (20) having a first housing (30) with a recess (35) formed in a first surface and a first bracket (54) held by the first housing (30) while facing the first surface; and a second connector (60) fitted with the first connector (20), the second connector having a second housing (70) with a projection (76) fitted into the recess (35), the projection being formed on a second surface corresponding to the first surface, and a second bracket (94) held by the second housing (70) while facing the second surface and electrically connected to the first bracket (54). After the first housing (30) and the second housing (70) are fitted together, the projection (76) is disposed such that a side face along a direction perpendicular to the first surface faces the first bracket (54) or the second bracket (94), and the first housing (30) has a protrusion formed continuous with the first surface and located closer to the fitting side than the first bracket (54).
