A connector includes a contact having a contact point that is electrically coupled to a connecting terminal of an external device by pressing the connecting terminal onto the contact point, a protective member having an aperture for exposing the contact point from a surface of the side for pressing the external device and movable between a first position and a second position, a first shell covering the protective member with the aperture exposed, a base accommodating the contact and the protective member, and a ground contact having a first elastic portion that pushes up the protective member and the first shell, having a first held portion held by the base, and being grounded. The ground contact pushes up the protective member and the first shell with an elastic force of the first elastic portion. The contact point is positioned inside the protective member at the first position.

Connector

Provided is a connector including a case having an opposing surface facing external device and a flat plate-shaped contact built in the case. The case includes a first opening which is formed at the opposing surface and through which a contact point of the contact to be connected to a connection terminal of the external device protrudes from the opposing surface, a receiver configured to receive a connector for external connection, and a holder configured to hold the contact. The contact includes the contact point which is disposed in the first opening and which is to contact with the connection terminal of the external device, an elastic portion which is disposed in the case and which moves the contact point in a substantially perpendicular direction relative to the opposing surface, a contact portion which is disposed in the receiver and which is to contact with a connection terminal of the connector for external connection, a held portion which is formed between the elastic portion and the contact portion and which is held by the holder in the case, and a connection portion which is formed between the elastic portion and the contact portion and which connects between the contact point and the contact portion in the case.
