ABSTRACT:
A connector includes a plurality of contacts each including a first piece having a contact portion, a pressure receiving portion, and a projection inwardly extending from the pressure receiving portion; a second piece having a connection portion and a fulcrum portion; and an elastic portion for connecting the first piece and the fulcrum portion. The contact portion, elastic portion, fulcrum portion and connection portion are arranged in the form of a crank. A housing is formed with protection walls for preventing its ceiling portion from being raised. The pivoting member is mounted on the housing so that the axis of rotation is moved with its pivotal movement to achieve their compact rotation. With the construction, the connector achieves a miniaturization or reduced overall height, and a stable electrical connection with simple operation and slight operating force without any failed connection even if being subjected to undue external force.
