ABSTRACT:
An electric connector is connected to a conductive part, e.g. an electric wire, of a first article, and is fitted onto the first article and/or a second article. The contact of the electric connector directly contacts a conductive part of the second article with a sufficient contact pressure. The electric connector includes a housing fitted onto at least one of the articles, and a contact provided on the housing and including a connecting part connected to the conductive part of the first article, a contacting point contacting the conductive part of the second article, and an elastic part, which undergoes elastic deformation when the contacting point is pressed. The housing and/or the contact has a holding member, which holds the elastic part in an elastically deformed condition in advance in the direction of pressing the contacting point and prevents the restoring movement thereof.
