Abstract
For connecting a card type device to a counterpart connector, a connector is provided with an elastic film contact held to an inner insulator having a cam portion. The film contact has a first connection end portion and a second connection end portion opposite to the first connection end portion. The first connection end portion is electrically connected to the card type device. The second connection end portion is kept in a free state. A plate-like member has a first member end portion superposed to and fixed to the second connection end portion. A second member end portion of the plate-like member spaces from the elastic film contact and faces the cam portion. The plate-like member operates as a lever to make the second connection end portion be brought into press contact with the counterpart connector in accordance with an operation for connection.
