ABSTRACT:
A connector having a compact engagement structure providing a high retaining force is provided. A shoulder is provided on an inner wall of a housing for storing a contact. The shoulder is inclined so that a distal end thereof projects toward a first end of the housing with respect to a proximal end thereof. An engaging piece which engages the shoulder is provided on an engaging portion of a contact body. An inner edge of a distal end of the engaging piece is chamfered. The contact is inserted into a storage chamber of the housing from a second end of the housing, and the engaging piece smoothly lifts from the distal end of the shoulder to the proximal end. Accordingly, the contact is retained by the housing with a high retaining force.
