CONNECTOR WHICH IS SIMPLE IN STRUCTURE AND IN WHICH CONNECTION AND DISCONNECTION CAN BE READILY CARRIED OUT

摘要

In a connector for use in connection between a pair of connection objects (60) having electroconductive inner surfaces, a long pin contact (10) is made of an electroconductive elastic material and has opposite ends which are brought into press contact with the inner surfaces with elastic deformation of a longitudinal intermediate portion of the pin contact. The connection objects are opposite to each other in a first direction (Y) and have a relative position changeable between a first and a second position in a second direction (X) perpendicular to the first direction. The inner surfaces extend in the first direction to define spaces. Before the connection is carried out, the opposite ends are inserted in the spaces, respectively. The opposite ends are loosely fitted in the spaces when the relative position is the first position. When the relative position is changed from the first position to the second position, each of the opposite ends is brought into press contact with each of the inner surfaces at two points different in the first and the second directions.
