Abstract

An insulative casing has a bottom face to be mounted on a board member. A conductive pin is disposed in the casing so as to be slidable in a first direction parallel to the bottom face. A conductive terminal is disposed in the casing and has at least one elastic piece which is always brought into contact with an outer periphery of the pin from a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. An elastic member is disposed between the pin and the terminal so that a tip end of the pin is projected from the casing while being retractable in the first direction.
