Abstract

In a cable connector (1) in which a core wire (81a,81c) of a cable (81) is pressed against a base contact (3) in a predetermined direction (a) intersecting the core wire, a support contact (5) is cooperated with the base contact to clamp the core wire therebetween in the predetermined direction. The base contact is coupled to a base insulator (2). The support contact is coupled to a cover insulator (4) movable against the base insulator in the predetermined direction. A partition wall (42) is formed integral with the cover insulator and positions the core wire to make the core wire face the base contact. When the cover insulator is moved towards the base insulator, the core wire becomes in press contact with the base contact.
