ABSTRACT:
A connector is capable of arranging a large number of contacts in an insulator with high density, namely, capable of reducing an arrangement pitch of the contacts. The connector includes a plurality of leaf contacts and an insulator for holding the contacts. The contact comprises a fixed portion fixed to the insulator, an elastic spring portion integrally connected to one end of the fixed portion, and a contact portion integrally connected to one end of the elastic spring portion and being offset from a surface of the fixed portion and the elastic spring portion. The fixed portion has the width substantially equal to that of the elastic spring portion. The contact portion has the width smaller than that of the elastic spring portion. The insulator has a passage hole for passing the contact portion and a holding hole contiguous to the passage hole in a thickness direction of the contact for passing the elastic spring portion and for holding the fixed portion. The passage hole has a width which allows passage of the contact portion while the holding hole has a width which allows passage of the elastic spring portion and which is greater than the width of the passage hole so that stepped surfaces for engaging the fixed portion are formed between the holding hole and the passage hole.
