A connector (), into and from which a connection object () is insertable and removable, includes an insulator () including an insertion portion () in which a connection object () can be inserted and a first contact () mounted on the insulator (). The first contact () includes a contact piece () and a resiliently deformable resilient portion (). The contact piece () includes a contact portion () configured to be connected to a signal line () of the connection object () in a fully inserted state where the connection object () is fully inserted in the insertion portion () and a removing portion () located closer to an insertion opening () of the insertion portion () than the contact portion (). The removing portion () is configured to be connected to the signal line () in a partially inserted state where the connection object () is partially inserted in the insertion portion (). The removing portion () is configured to be apart from the connection object () when the resilient portion () is resiliently deformed in the fully inserted state.

Connector and electronic device

A cable connector includes: a contact (A,B) supported by an insulator () having a cable insertion groove (); a lock member () rotatable about a rotation shaft (), between a lock position where a lock portion () of the lock member faces a locked portion () of a sheet-like cable () inserted in the insulator and an unlock position where the lock portion does not face the locked portion; and a bias portion () for biasing the lock member to the lock position, wherein an inner surface of the cable insertion groove includes a reference surface () which is an end surface in a movement direction of the lock portion from the lock position to the unlock position, and a rotation center G of the rotation shaft is located on a side opposite to the movement direction, with respect to the reference surface.
