ABSTRACT:
A contact is attached to a connector housing thereby contacting a mating connector. The contact includes a contact section, a pair of tabs, and a pair of springs. The contact section is includes a pair of arms that extend frontward while facing each other and a support bearing the pair of arms. The pair of tabs are positioned on left and right sides of contact with the contact section positioned between. The pair of springs bend from both left and right sides of the support respectively, and frontward further than the tabs. The pair of springs also extend backward and then connect to the tabs. The pair of springs support the contact section and allow the contact section to move in the left-right direction by elastic deformation.
