It is an object of the present invention to provide an electric connector for a circuit board and an electric connector assembly including the same, the electric connector having a simple configuration, being easily handleable, and including terminals having connecting portions with which a shield body is not in contact while being in use.An electric connector (10, 50, 210, 310, 350) for a circuit board, capable of being mounted on a surface of a circuit board, includes a housing (11, 51) that is capable of being covered by a tube-shaped or cover-shaped electrically conductive shield body (90, 190, 290, 390); terminals (30, 70) each having a solder connecting portion and positioned on a side of the housing (11, 51) that is to be attached to the circuit board, the solder connecting portion being capable of being soldered to the circuit board; and electrically conductive shield bases (40, 80) attached to an outer surface of the housing (11, 51). Each shield base (40, 80) includes an attached portion (41, 81), a solder ground portion (42, 82), and a holding portion (43, 83).
