A connector which dispenses with an actuator and lowers profile while prevent damage to conducive path portions. A metal plate of the connector includes a first supporting portion mounted on a printed wiring board, and a second supporting portion connected to the first supporting portion via a linking portion in a manner movable in an FPC sandwiching direction. The second supporting portion includes a spring portion for urging a movable portion against FPC, a pair of locking pieces for increasing distance between contact point portions of the supporting portions by moving the movable portion away from the first supporting portion using an FPC inserting force, and suppressing removal of completely inserted FPC.
