Abstract
In a connector having a rotary actuator (14) for bringing a sheet-like object (11) into press contact with a contact (13) held by a housing (12), the rotary actuator is engaged with the contact in a predetermined direction parallel to the sheet-like object and perpendicular to a center axis of a shaft portion (22) of the rotary actuator. The shaft portion is rotatably engaged with the housing. The contact has a contacting portion (15) to be faced to one surface of the sheet-like object and a supporting portion (16) to be faced to the other surface of the sheet-like object. The actuator has a cam portion (21) integrally connected to the shaft portion and located between the supporting portion and the sheet-like object. The supporting portion has a recess (17) which receives the cam portion to engage the cam portion with the supporting portion in the predetermined direction.
