PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric connector by which coplanarity of leg parts of terminals can be successfully obtained.SOLUTION: An electric connector 100 having terminals with different heights comprises: a housing 110 that has a vertical wall 111 provided with a first hole 111a and a second hole 111b on its anti-fitting side; a first terminal 120 pressed in the first hole; and a second terminal 130 pressed in the second hole. A recessed part 111d is provided between the first hole and the second hole of the vertical wall. A first press-in part 121 of the first terminal is pressed in the vertical wall by being pressure-contacted with wall surfaces 111e at both sides in a width direction, of wall surfaces that configure the first hole of the vertical wall. A second press-in part 131 of the second terminal is pressed in the vertical wall by being pressure-contacted with wall surfaces 111g at both sides in the width direction and wall surfaces 111h at both sides in a height direction, of wall surfaces that configure the second hole of the vertical wall. 【課題】端子の脚部のコプラナリティが良好に得られる電気コネクタを提供する。【解決手段】第１孔１１１ａとその反嵌合側の第２孔１１１ｂが設けられた縦壁１１１を有するハウジング１１０と、第１孔に圧入された第１端子１２０と、第２孔に圧入された第２端子１３０とを備え、縦壁の第１孔と第２孔との間に凹部１１１ｄが設けられ、第１端子の第１圧入部１２１は、縦壁の第１孔を構成する壁面のうち幅方向の両側の壁面１１１ｅに圧力をもって接触することで縦壁に圧入されており、第２端子の第２圧入部１３１は、縦壁の第２孔を構成する壁面のうち幅方向の両側の壁面１１１ｇおよび高さ方向の両側１１１ｈの壁面に圧力をもって接触することで縦壁に圧入されている、高さ違いの端子を有する電気コネクタ１００である。【選択図】図１
