Abstract
A connector includes a base member having two or more projections, two or more contacts, a housing holding the contacts and facing the base member, and a cutting portion for cutting the flexible conductor between a pair of contacts to divide the flexible conductor into a pair of flexible conductor pieces, when projections corresponding to the contacts are separately inserted into projection accommodating portions of the contacts together with the flexible conductor, the flexible conductor being arranged between the base member and the housing and extending over the contacts adjacent to each other, the flexible conductor pieces divided by the cutting portion being sandwiched between lateral surfaces of the projections and inner surfaces of the projection accommodating portions of the contacts and coming into contact with the inner surfaces of the projection accommodating portions of the contacts, whereby the contacts are electrically connected to the flexible conductor pieces.
