Abstract
A connector includes a housing and contacts retained by the housing, the contacts forming contact arrays that linearly extend in a predetermined array direction in parallel to each other, each of the contacts having a mounting portion that is fixed to the mounting object when the connector is mounted on the mounting object and a contact portion that contacts a corresponding contact of the counter connector when the connector is connected to the counter connector, the mounting portions of contacts constituting at least two contact arrays adjacent to each other of the contact arrays extending in a same elongation direction, contacts constituting each contact array of the at least two contact arrays being disposed in a position other than a position where those contacts completely coincide with contacts constituting another contact array of the at least two contact arrays in a direction perpendicular to the predetermined array direction.
