1. A connector that electrically connects a plate-shaped object to be connected and an other object to be connected to each other, comprising:
a metal plate for supporting the plate-shaped object to be connected in a sandwiching manner, said metal plate including a first supporting portion mounted on the other object to be connected, and a second supporting portion linked to said first supporting portion via a linking portion in a manner movable in a direction of sandwiching the plate-shaped object to be connected, said second supporting portion including: a second movable portion opposed to said first supporting portion, a second spring portion for causing said second movable portion to be urged against the plate-shaped object to be connected when the plate-shaped object to be connected is inserted between said first supporting portion and said second supporting portion, and a force application portion for causing said second movable portion to move in a direction away from said first supporting portion to thereby increase a distance between said first supporting portion and said second supporting portion, when the plate-shaped object to be connected is inserted between said first supporting portion and said second movable portion against a returning force of said second spring portion, and for causing said second movable portion to move in a direction of approaching said first supporting portion, when insertion of the plate-shaped object to be connected is completed; and a plurality of conductive path portions formed on said metal plate with an insulating layer provided therebetween, wherein at least one of said first supporting portion and said second supporting portion has a protruding portion formed thereon which presses part of said conductive path portions against the plate-shaped object to be connected which has been inserted between said first supporting portion and said second movable portion. |
