Abstract
A connector comprises a first connector and a second connector. The first connector includes a first connector main body and a plurality of first terminals mounted side by side in the longitudinal direction of the first connector main body on both sides in the transverse direction of the first connector main body. The second connector includes a second connector main body for mating with the first connector main body and a plurality of second terminals mounted side by side in the longitudinal direction of the second connector main body on both sides in the transverse direction of the second connector main body. Each first terminal includes a first contact portion and a second contact portion facing each other. The first contact portion and the second contact portion overlap the corresponding second terminal. The amount of overlap is greater than the amount of clearance in the transverse direction of the first connector main body. Each second terminal is inserted between the first contact portion and the second contact portion of the corresponding first terminal and contacting the first terminal when the first connector main body is mated with the second connector main body.
