Abstract
A connector is capable of replacing an STP cable (B) and a UTP cable (A) without a large structural change. UTP connection terminals (A) are accommodated in accommodating portions () of a UTP dielectric (A) that are close to each other in a width direction. Thus, elastic contact pieces () thereof are located inside and close to each other in the width direction, while receiving portions () are located outside and spaced from each other in the width direction. STP connection terminals (B) are accommodated in accommodating portions () of an STP dielectric (B) that are spaced more apart in the width direction than those of the UTP dielectric (A). Thus, elastic contact pieces () thereof are located outside and are spaced from each other in the width direction, while receiving portions () thereof are located inside so as to be close to each other in the width direction.
