Abstract
An electric connector is provided, including a first insulating body and a plurality of conductive terminals. The first insulating body includes two positioning grooves and a plurality of terminal grooves. Each positioning groove has a first socket and a second socket. A concave portion, a first guiding groove, and a second guiding groove are disposed at a groove wall of each positioning groove. The first guiding groove extends from the first socket in a first direction to the concave portion. The second guiding groove extends from the second socket in a second direction to the concave portion. The terminal grooves are disposed at an interval between the two positioning grooves. Each terminal groove has a third socket and a fourth socket. The conductive terminals are disposed individually in the terminal grooves. A joint connector is capable of being plugged into the electric connector in the first or second direction.
