A contact of a connector made of an elongated resilient material and having an inner end fixed to a connector housing and a midway to be in contact with a mating contact of another connector. According to the invention, the contact comprises a substantially straight portion extending from a contacting portion of the midway with the mating contact to the fixed inner end, and an outer portion being bent in zigzag extending from the contacting portion to the distal end abutting against a surface of the connector housing, thereby obtaining a sufficient contacting resilient pressure to realize stable and reliable connecting condition with the mating contact and simultaneously achieving small-sized connectors and high speed signal transmission.
