Abstract
Frame grounding fixtures (plug connector fixtures) 40 are provided at the longitudinal ends of the plug housing 10 for mounting the plug connector half 1 on a printed circuit board K1, and receptacle connector fixtures 80 are provided at the longitudinal ends of the receptacle housing 50 for mounting the receptacle connector half 5 on a printed circuit board K5. When the plug and receptacle connector halves 1 and 5 are intermated, the frame grounding fixtures 40 are brought into contact with the receptacle connector fixtures 80 because the contact surfaces of the frame grounding fixtures 40 are provided in the same planes as the inner surfaces 12c of the plug housing 10, and the contact surfaces of the receptacle connector fixtures 80 are provided in the same plane as the outer surfaces 52b of the receptacle housing 50.
