Abstract
A connector includes: a housing; and a plurality of metal contacts supported so as to be parallel to each other with respect to the housing, each contact having a first contact arm and a second contact arm, and electrically connecting a first member and a second member to each other by bringing a first contact terminal of the first contact arm and a second contact terminal of the second contact arm into elastic contact with a conductive connection portion of the first member and a conductive connection portion of the second member respectively, the first member and the second member being disposed on both sides of the housing, wherein the housing has a through hole penetrating therethrough and formed on a side of the first contact terminal with respect to a first separation start position at which the first contact arm starts separation from the housing, and a second separation start position at which the second contact arm starts separation from the housing is disposed farther apart from the through hole than the first separation start position.
