The utility model discloses an electric connector, comprising an insulative body, a plurality of signal terminals and a metal casing. The signal terminals are fixed at the side wall of the insulative body. The metal casing is an integrated forming frame, an entablature and at least one downward extending earthing strip are formed by the extending of the upper edge of the metal casing. The metal casing is sheathed out of the insulative body, and the entablature is pressed on the top of the insulative body. When a camera module is placed in the holding space of the insulative body, the signal terminals are pressed and connected at the electric points around the baseplate of the camera module by sided pressure, thus the camera module and the electric connector can achieve electric connection. And the earthing strip is pressed and connected with the outer edge of the body of the camera module, so the camera module and the electric connector are grounded. Thus the structure of the metal casing is comparatively steady, the stability of the electric connector is comparatively good, and the volume of the electric connector can not get enlarged because of the increased height.
