ABSTRACT:
In a connector, the position at which a pointed part of a rocking terminal slidingly contacts an insertion and the position at which the pointed part of the rocking terminal contacts an upper surface of a terminal plate are substantially the same. Therefore, shavings generated by the contact of the insertion and the pointed part or foreign matters adhering to the insertion may adhere to the pointed part of the rocking terminal and be pinched between the pointed part and the terminal plate, whereby no contact is caused by inserting the insertion into the connector. Then, with regard to a connector having a switch part comprising a rocking terminal (51) swayed by inserting an insertion (53) into a main body of the connector and a receiving terminal (52) arranged to contact the rocking terminal, a pointed part (51a) is formed on the rocking terminal, and the terminals contact electrically with each other by making the receiving terminal touch a side surface of the pointed part.
