Abstract

A new connector that is reduced in size and has a higher density of contacts implemented therein is provided. This connector has a contact module arranged on a connector main body. The contact module is formed into a sheet structure, and a plurality of contacts are arranged therein. Further, the contact module is bent into a C-shaped structure along the extending direction of the contacts, and is implemented to the connector main body in this state. Contact points of the connector are energized by sets of a coil spring and two push pins arranged on both sides of the coil spring so that these contact points protrude from holes formed at the connector main body.
