Abstract
A connector is provided which realizes a narrower pitch of contact portions of contacts, and makes the arranging pitch of terminal portions of the contacts larger without increasing waste of material of the contacts. Signal contacts ground contacts which include contact portions, terminal portions, and connecting portions which connect the terminal portions are mounted in a housing. When the signal contacts and the ground contacts are blanked from an elastic metal plate, portions of the connecting portions and the terminal portions are inclined with respect to an imaginary plane orthogonal to a contact arranging direction.
