Electric connector and electric connector assembly
To allow electromagnetic shielding regarding a connecting portion between conductive contacts and a main wiring board to be excellently achieved with a simple structure without impairing productivity, a fit-in holding member being rotated from a fit-in releasing position to a fit-in acting position to maintain a state where connectors fit in together by rotation is provided with a conductive cover part covering a connecting portion between a counterpart connector and the main wiring board when the fit-in holding member is rotated to the fit-in acting position, and the connecting portion is covered with the conductive cover part. Electromagnetic shielding of that portion is performed simultaneously with the time when both of the connectors fit in together, thereby eliminating an increase in the number of manufacturing processes. Also, the connection state at the connecting portion between a conductive contact and and the main wiring board can be clearly confirmed until the fit-in holding member is rotated to the fit-in acting position.
