A connector includes a plurality of contacts having at least one contact portion adapted to contact a connecting object, a housing arranging and holding the contacts and having a fitting opening into which the connecting object is inserted, and a member for bringing the connecting object into contact with the contact portions of the contacts. The contacts are arranged orthogonally to the inserting direction of the fitting opening of the housing so that connection portions of the contacts extend onto either or both sides of the housing in its width direction, and after the connecting object has been inserted into the fitting opening, the member is inserted or pivotally moved to bring the connecting object into contact with the contact portions of the contacts. This connector completely complies with customer's requirements and overcomes the problems of mounting space on a substrate, operationality and reduced overall height.
