ABSTRACT:
A surface-contact connector comprises a plurality of terminals 50 and a housing 11. The terminals 50 are made of an electrically conductive, resilient material and are formed in an identical shape. These terminals 50 are retained in the housing 11 in a row. Each terminal 50 includes an anchoring portion 51, an resilient portion 54, and a contacting portion 55. The anchoring portion 51 is fixedly retained in the housing 11, and the resilient portion 54, which is capable of elastic deformation, extends from the anchoring portion 51. The contacting portion 55 is continuous from a front end of the resilient portion 54 to protrude in the direction of engagement with a part to be electrically connected to. The housing 11 is provided with protrusion-regulating portions 16 and 17 which meet with the resilient portions 54 or contacting portions 55 of the terminals to regulate the amounts of protrusion of the contacting portions 55 in the direction of the engagement.
