Abstract
An electric connector, comprising a base connector (4) fixed onto a mounting surface (3) and a socket connector (6) extracted from the inserting space (5) of the base connector (4) along the extracting direction (X2) generally orthogonal to the mounting surface (3), wherein, when an electric conductor (7) extending in the direction parallel with the mounting surface (3)(Y) is pulled in the direction parallel with the mounting surface (3)(Y), a tension is converted into a force in the direction of extracting the socket connector (6) (X2) by the activation of the cam surface (24) of the base connector (4) and the cam surface (37) of the socket connector (6), whereby the socket connector (6) can be removed smoothly.
