Abstract
A connector that can accommodate displacement and tilting at the time of fitting into a counterpart connector and that can avoid an increase in the size of the connector is provided. A movable contact of a connector has: upper-side contact points; lower-side contact points; upper-side gripping sections; lower-side gripping sections; an upper-side spring part; a lower-side spring part; and two joining sections. The upper-side contact points and the lower-side contact points can move independently of each other due to elastic deformation of the upper-side spring part and the lower-side spring part. An upper-side second width of the upper-side spring part at a second position is smaller than an upper-side first width of the upper-side spring part at a first position. A lower-side second width of the lower-side spring part at the second position is smaller than a first lower-side width of the lower-side spring part at the first position.
