1. An electrical connector comprising:
an insulating member having two outer edges extending in a first direction and being opposite to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
a plurality of signal terminals configured to be fixed and held to the insulating member; and
a plurality of ground terminals configured to be elastically held to the insulating member, wherein
the signal terminals and the ground terminals are disposed in the first direction of the insulating member,
the ground terminals and the signal terminals are adjacent to each other as viewed from the first direction, and a signal terminal length of the signal terminal in the second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction, is shorter than a ground terminal length of the ground terminal in the second direction,
the signal terminal includes a signal terminal contact engaging portion positioned within a range of the ground terminal length as viewed from the first direction, and
the ground terminal includes two ground terminal contact engaging portions, one of the two ground terminal contact engaging portions being located toward one of the outer edges of the insulating member in the second direction, and an other one of the two ground terminal contact engaging portions being located toward a center of the insulating member in the second direction, the signal terminal contact engaging portion being located between the two ground terminal contact engaging portions in the second direction, wherein
the signal terminals and the ground terminals are alternately disposed in the first direction, and
the signal terminal contact engaging portions of the signal terminals disposed on opposite sides of one of the ground terminals in the first direction are located between the two ground terminal contact engaging portions of the one of the ground terminals in the second direction when viewed in the first direction.
