In a connector to be connected to a cable by an insulation displacement connection, a first housing has a holding portion for receiving the cable. A second housing holds a contact and coupled to the first housing with its rotation with respect to the first housing. The contact is adapted to be contact with a mating connector and has a pair of insulation displacement portions faced to each other with a gap and adapted to be connected to the cable by the insulation displacement connection. The holding portion is inserted into the gap following the rotation of the second housing so that the cable is clamped between each of the insulation displacement portions and the holding portion.
