A connector used electrically for connecting two circuit boards comprises a plurality of sets of contacts held on a A connector used electrically for connecting two circuit boards comprises a plurality of sets of contacts held on a body. Each contact has a terminal portion to be soldered on the circuit board, a held portion to be fitted into the body, and a contacting portion to be elastically contacted with a contacting portion of a contact of the counterpart connector when the connectors are coupled with each other. A part of the contact, which generates elastic pressure by warping when the connectors are coupled, is hammered out in a manner so that a thickness of the part is made thinner than other portions for generating work hardening. Elastic pressure acting between the contacts of the connectors coupled with each other is increased by the work hardening, so that reliability of connection can be maintained owing to the increase of the elastic pressure even when a stacking height of the connectors is made lower. |
