Abstract

A connector has at least one connector terminal which includes two electrical contacting sections connectable to partner terminals and a deformable plate connected between said electrical contacting sections and bent so as to shorten a distance between the electrical contacting sections, wherein said deformable plate sections comprises a first deformable plate portion for allowing said two electrical contacting sections to displace forward or away from each other in a first direction and a second plate portion for allowing said electrical contacting sections to displace in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a set of connector housing for accommodating said electrical contacting sections therein, respectively. One of said connector housings is displaceably assembled to the other connector housing such that a deviation between the electrical contacting section and the partner terminal can be corrected by adjusting the position of the displaceable connector housing.
