The body portion surrounds an outer peripheral surface of an insulator having a fitting portion for receiving a mating member and holding a contact adapted to be electrically connected to the mating member. The folded portion includes a contact point portion to be contacted with the mating member in the fitting portion and a spring portion coupled to the contact point portion to make the contact point portion be elastically movable.
