CONNECTOR AND LIGHTING DEVICE

摘要

To reduce a connector in a dimension in a fitting direction. Contacts 11 each include a holding portion 111 which is inserted from an inserting direction orthogonal to a connector fitting direction and is held by a housing 12, a contact portion 112 which is continuous with the holding portion 111 and extends in the connector fitting direction, and a connection portion 113 which is continuous with the holding portion 111 and is connected to an LED mounting substrate. The housing 12 includes a housing main body 121 which is inserted in a hole formed in the LED mounting substrate, and a top board portion 122 formed on the housing main body 121. The housing main body 121 is formed with connector receiving portions 121a and 121b which accommodate the contact portions 112 and receive a cable connector. The top board portion 122 is formed with contact accommodating portions 122a which communicate with the connector receiving portions 121a and 121b and accommodate the holding portions 111. The housing main body 121 is formed with slots 121c via which the contacts 11 are inserted into the connector receiving portions 121a and 121b and the contact accommodating portions 122a from inserting directions orthogonal to the connector fitting direction.
