A connector of the invention includes first and second conducting parts and a coupling part. The coupling part couples ends of the first and second conducting parts to allow the first and second conducting parts to turn from a closed position, in which the first and second conducting parts sandwich therebetween a conductor having flexibility, to an open position, in which the first and second conducting parts release the conductor. At least one of the first and second conducting parts includes a locking projection. The locking projection is configured to swing in accordance with the turning of the one of the conducting parts and pass through the conductor. The locking projection is of a curved form conforming to a swing track of the locking projection.
