(54)Electrical connector and electrical connector assembly


(57) An extremely simple configuration is enabled by omitting a circuit board and an electrical connector which is to be a fitting mate or the like. A configuration in which a stand-alone plug connector 10 is directly fitted to the wall of a product case MF, and in the fitting state of the stand-alone plug connector 10, the contact part of a contact 12 comes in contact with the contact part of a wiring pattern conductive path CP exposed on the surface of the fit connecting hole MFa, and the electrical connection of a signal transmitting medium can be performed in a simple configuration requiring no involvement of a conventionally used circuit board and an electrical connector which is to be a fitting mate implemented on the circuit board, and the overall final securing of the electrical connector is performed by the connected leg of the connector main body and the conductive contact sandwiching the product case in the thickness direction, and even if the electrical connector is repeatedly fitted to/extracted from the product case, the fitting connectivity of the electrical connector for the product case is well maintained over a long period of time.
