ABSTRACT:
A connector has a plurality of holes formed in an insulating layer. Contacts inside these holes have contact parts at the top and bottom. Each contact has a base part, a pair of contact parts which extend up and down from the base part, a lip which is connected to the base part, and a latching part. Inside the holes of the insulation layer, there is a guide groove, which houses and retains the contact by the lip, and a stopper, which prevents the contact from slipping out by interfering with the latching part of the contact. The holes of the insulation layer house and retain the contacts while allowing for vertical movement of the contacts in the thickness direction of the insulation layer. The compression connection type connector can be aligned by a depositing device and also has a stable contact pressure.
