1. A female connector comprising:
a female terminal having a first end for mating with a male connector or a gold finger circuit board, and a second end for connection with a PCB board, the female terminal being formed with at least one shape abruptly-changed portion between the first end and the second end, and a high-frequency radiation area being formed in the vicinity of the shape abruptly-changed portion when the first end is mated with the male connector or the gold finger circuit board; and
a wave-absorbing material disposed in a spatial range covered by the high-frequency radiation area;
wherein the shape abruptly-changed portion includes a change of a cross-sectional area of the female terminal, the cross-sectional area being an area of a cross-section perpendicular to a signal flow direction in the female terminal, the change of the cross-sectional area includes: the cross-sectional area of the female terminal increasing or decreasing in a direction from the first end to the second end, a convex structure being formed on a surface of the female terminal, or a hole structure being formed in the female terminal.
