ABSTRACT:
A connector mold (4) of a connector socket (1) includes pairs of contact holding chambers (7U,7L) facing each other along a direction perpendicular to a length of the connector socket. Contact insertion openings in opposite sides of the pairs of contact holding chambers permit the insertion of contacts (8U,8L) from opposed sides into the contact holding chambers. The opposite-side installations of the contacts permits pre-installation final forming of the contacts, including an "L"-shaped external connection terminal (8b) for external connection of the connector to a circuit board before the contacts are inserted into the mold. Base attachment grooves (10U,10L) in the inner walls of the contact holding chambers guide the insertion of the contacts into their respective contact holding chambers, and fix the contacts in place after insertion. A shield plate (9) is used to prevent electrostatic fingertip charge from reaching the contacts.
