Abstract

A connector includes a connecting terminal, a fixed contact, a movable plate, a movable contact provided at an end of the movable plate, a card that includes an insulator and contacts the movable plate, a button that contacts the card, an opening spring connected to the button, and a sliding operation part that controls a contact between the fixed contact and the movable contact. When the sliding operation part is moved in a first direction, the movable contact is brought into contact with the fixed contact and the connector is turned on. When the sliding operation part is moved in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the movable contact is caused to move away from the fixed contact and the connector is turned off. The sliding operation part is provided on a surface that is different from a surface on which the connecting terminal is provided.
