Abstract

The present disclosure provides a connector that includes a substrate and M conductive terminals, where the substrate is provided with M through holes, and the M conductive terminals are disposed to penetrate through the M through holes in a one-to-one correspondence. The conductive terminal includes a first conductive part, a second conductive part, and a holding part. The first conductive part is located at one end of the conductive terminal, the second conductive part is located at the other end of the conductive terminal, and the holding part is located between the first conductive part and the second conductive part. The conductive terminal may be fastened to the substrate by using the fastening medium, so that disposing of a stub structure may be avoided, to improve signal transmission performance of the conductive terminal.
