See full text

A connector reduced in width and easily mated with a mating connector is provided. An insulative housing of a connector has a substantially rectangular mating face. Further, the metal shell has a base portion, a curved portion, and a supporting portion. The base portion upstands from a peripheral edge of the mating face extends along the peripheral edge and encloses the mating face circumferentially in a substantially rectangular shape. Further, the curved portion is continuous to an upper end of the base portion and curved inward in a semicircular shape for guiding the mating connector. Further, the supporting portion has a shape hanging from the curved portion toward the mating face along an inner wall face of the base portion for supporting the mating connector, so that the insulative housing does not have an upstanding wall extending along a side face of a longitudinally extending portion of the metal shell and the metal shell supports a widthwise inner face of the mating connector.
