Abstract

Contacts each include a first piece having a contact portion extensible into a fitting opening of a housing to contact a connecting object and a pressure receiving portion urged by a pivoting member, a second piece having a fulcrum portion and a connection portion connected to a substrate, a connecting portion connecting the first piece and the fulcrum portion, and a second pressure receiving portion substantially L-shaped extending from the connecting portion. The contact portion, connecting portion, fulcrum portion and connection portion are arranged substantially in a crank. The pivoting member is pivotally movable on the housing so that urging portions are pivotally movable between the pressure receiving portions and the second pressure receiving portions. Even there is an operating space only on the fitting opening side, the pivoting member being operatable, and a ZIF construction and upper and lower contact portions are possible.
