Abstract
A connector is composed of a plurality of contacts, a housing and a locator. The plurality of contacts are formed to have nearly L-shaped forms. One end of each of the plurality of contacts is inserted along a contact inserting direction and is fixed in the housing such that the other end of the contact is held along a direction orthogonal to the contact inserting direction. The locator has a plurality of slits in which the other ends of the plurality of contacts are inserted. Also, the locator has a plurality of through-holes consecutive to the plurality of slits such that the other ends of the plurality of contacts penetrate the plurality of through-holes. The locator is mounted on a surface of the housing on which the plurality of contacts are fixed, from a direction orthogonal to the contact inserting direction.
