1. An electrical connector that is a female electrical connector comprising:
a plurality of internal terminals;
an external terminal surrounding the plurality of internal terminals; and
a holding member holding the plurality of internal terminals and the external terminal and extending in a long-side direction and a short-side direction, wherein
the plurality of internal terminals are arranged in the long-side direction,
the external terminal includes a first contact wall portion closer than the plurality of internal terminals to a corner in the long-side direction and a second contact wall portion closer than the plurality of internal terminals to a corner in the long-side direction, with the first and second contact wall portions facing each other in the short-side direction,
the holding member includes a first opening configured to receive the first contact wall portion during elastic displacement of the first contact wall portion in the short-side direction and a second opening configured to receive the second contact wall portion during elastic displacement of the second contact wall portion in the short-side direction, and
the holding member includes a first restricting portion located close to the first contact wall portion to compensate for misalignment in a mated state and a second restricting portion located close to the second contact wall portion to compensate for misalignment in the mated state.
