Abstract
A connector which makes it possible to prevent contacts from being removed without increasing press-in force of the contacts. A crank-shaped portion or protruding portion is formed, as a retaining portion, on an linking portion which links a contact portion and a connection portion of each contact. A housing for holding a plurality of the contacts is comprised of a front housing in which contact-side portions of the contacts are disposed, and a rear housing in which connection-side portions of the same are disposed. When the front housing and the rear housing are assembled, the crank-shaped portion and the protruding portions are brought into abutment with the rear housing.
