Contact and connector utilizing the same

摘要

An object of the present invention is to further reduce the height and the size of a contact to be fitted to an opposite contact for establishing electrical connection, thereby reducing the thickness and the size of a connector utilizing the same, and an opposite connector to be mounted to the connector. A contact (male contact) (1) is disposed so that a pair of band-shaped extending sections (11, 15) are overlapped with each other, and a resilient contact section which comes into abutment with an inner wall of a receiving section by a resilient force of the pair of extending sections for establishing electrical connection when being fitted in a receiving section (101) of an opposite contact (female contact) (100).
