Abstract
A connector including a terminal having a flat facing surface facing a mating terminal of a mating connector; a resilient conductor provided to contact the facing surface, the resilient conductor being capable of contacting the mating terminal while being resiliently deformed in a direction orthogonal to the facing surface, the terminal being electrically connectable to the mating terminal via the resilient conductor, and a movable protecting body configured to be movable between a protection position that covers the facing surface on a front side in an assembling direction toward the mating terminal and a retracted position closer to the facing surface than the protection position, the movable protecting body including an insertion opening into which the resilient conductor is inserted at the retracted position, the resilient conductor projecting from the insertion opening being capable of contacting the mating terminal with the movable protecting body held at the retracted position.
