Abstract
A connector includes a terminal including a connecting portion that is connected to a plate portion formed at an end of another terminal by a fitting, and an elastic member having a lower rigidity than the plate portion and the connecting portion. The connecting portion includes a bottom portion to be in contact with the plate portion and first and second side portions provided upright from both end sides of the bottom portion in a width direction orthogonal to the fitting direction so as to interpose a contact portion with the plate portion therebetween. When the terminal is fitted to the other terminal, the elastic member is interposed between the plate portion and the first and second side portions and elastically deforms and contacts with both side surfaces of the plate portion in the width direction and with the first and second side portions in the elastically deformed state.
