Connector and contacts for use in the connector

摘要

A connector (10) includes a plurality of contacts (13). The connector includes an insulator (11) having a plurality of through-holes (12) for receiving the contacts. A pair of contacts (13, 13') are disposed in each of the through-holes. Since two contacts (13) are disposed in the through-hole (12) in the insulator (11), even if a fault occurs in one of the contacts (13), signal transmission in the same line can continuously be used. Moreover, since large areas of contact portions (14) of the contacts are secured even in normal use, the capacity of electric current is increased.
