Abstract
An electric connector structure, being a female connector, includes: a metal shell, including a upper surface defined on an inner side of thereof, two side surfaces extended from two respective end edges of the upper surface opposite to each other, and a lower surface extended from one side of each side surface far away from the upper surface; a plurality of first protrusions, respectively formed on the upper surface and lower surface; and a plurality of second protrusions, respectively formed on the two side surfaces and staggered with the first protrusions. Therefore, when a male connector is inserted in the female connector, the first and second protrusions are in contact with the outer wall of the male connector, thereby increasing insertion stability and generate multi-step noise blockage.
