Abstract
A connector includes a terminal member including a contact portion that can be brought into contact with a connecting target member, the terminal member being attached to an end of a wiring material, a housing including an insertion recess into which the connecting target member can be inserted, the housing retaining the terminal member such that the contact portion can be brought into contact with the connecting target member inserted into the insertion recess, and a dust protection member that protects the insertion recess against dust by blocking an insertion opening of the insertion recess. The dust protection member is formed such that the dust protection member can be penetrated by the connecting target member when the connecting target member is inserted into the insertion recess.
