ABSTRACT:
A socket body is formed with a recess elongated in a first direction. Socket contacts are disposed in the recess and arrayed in the first direction. A plug body is adapted to be fitted into the recess in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The plug body is formed with a groove extending in the first direction. Plug contacts, each of which includes a first contact piece and a second contact piece which are opposed to each other with a gap, are arrayed in the first direction such that the first contact piece is disposed in the groove and the second contact piece is disposed on an outer face of a side wall of the plug body to be electrically connected with one of the socket contacts. A flat wiring member has a first portion on which terminals are arrayed in the first direction, and which is inserted into the groove in the second direction such that each terminal is opposed to each first contact piece. A pressing member has a first part extending in the second direction, and attached to the plug body such that the first part is inserted into the groove, thereby pressing the first portion of the flat wiring member against the first contact piece in a third direction orthogonal to the first and second directions. The first and second contact pieces are resiliently deformable in the third direction, so that the first portion of the flat wiring member, the first part of the pressing member and the side wall of the plug body are resiliently clamped therebetween.
