A connector comprises a supporting member, a movable member and a contact. The movable member is supported by the supporting member so as to be movable in an up-down direction. The movable member is provided with a reference surface and a protection protrusion. The protection protrusion protrudes upward from the reference surface in the up-down direction. The protection protrusion is provided with a protection portion. The contact has a contact portion. The contact portion protrudes upward through the reference surface of the movable member in the up-down direction. The contact portion is positioned inward of the protection portion in a front-rear direction perpendicular to the up-down direction. The movable member moves the contact portion of the contact downward in the up-down direction when a force along an intersecting direction is applied to the protection portion. The intersecting direction intersects with the up-down direction. When the force is released, the movable member is moved upward in the up-down direction together with the contact portion of the contact.

Connector

A connector is fixable to an object such as a printed circuit board. The connector comprises a shell having a body portion and two fixed portions for fixing the body portion to the object. The body portion has two side portions and an upper portion coupling the side portions with each other in a lateral direction. The side portions are connected to the respective fixed portions. The fixed portion has a base portion and a strengthener. The base portion is located outward of the side portion in the lateral direction. The strengthener extends inward in the lateral direction from the base portion beyond the side portion.
