Abstract
A connector having a housing and terminals, mates with a mating connector having mating terminals. The housing has a side wall, a facing wall and a receiving depression between the side wall and the facing wall. Each terminal is installed in the receiving depression and has an attached portion attached to the housing, a first spring portion extending from the attached portion, an upward-extending portion extending from the first spring portion, an elastic support portion extending from the upward-extending portion, and a contact portion supported by the elastic support portion. The upward-extending portion has an abutting portion opposite the facing wall. The elastic support portion is bendable more easily than a spring formed with the first spring portion and the upward-extending portion. The contact portion contacts the mating terminal when the connector is mated with the mating connector and the abutting portion is pressed against the facing wall.
