Abstract
A connector includes a connecting terminal to be connected to another connecting terminal of another connector, a fixed contact, a movable contact provided at one end of a movable plate, a movable spring connected to the movable plate, and an operation part that moves according to an operation performed by an operator. The connecting terminal is connected to one of the fixed contact and the movable contact. The operation part applies a force to a part of the movable spring in a direction that is substantially parallel to a direction of a force applied to operate the operation part, and causes the movable contact to contact the fixed contact. The direction of the force applied to operate the operation part is substantially parallel to a direction in which the movable contact moves.
