Abstract
A plug contact includes a plate-shaped contact portion. The plate-shaped contact portion includes an upper contact surface where a receptacle contact is contactable. A plug housing includes: a base; a pair of side end cover portions that projects in a mating direction from the base and covers both side ends of the plate-shaped contact portion; a leading end cover portion which couples leading ends of the pair of side end cover portions in the mating direction and covers a leading end of the plate-shaped contact portion; a pair of beams that couples the base with a middle portion of the leading end cover portion in a longitudinal direction; and an outside cover. The receptacle contact includes a pair of upper elastic spring pieces disposed so as to sandwich one of the beams. The receptacle contact is formed by bending a single metallic plate.
