Claim Text:
1. A plug connector, comprising: a substrate having an electrode pad; an insulator having a first housing space part; a contactor including a lead contact part connectable to the electrode pad of the substrate; a slider including a main body part and a substrate receiver part; the main body part housed inside the first housing space part and reciprocatable between a first position and a second position, the main body part having an interior sidewall defining a second housing space part that houses the lead contact part of the contactor, the main body part further having an opening that communicates with the second housing space part and that enables the substrate to be inserted therethrough; the substrate receiver part configured to arrange the contactor between an inner surface of the second housing space part and to abut against an end part of the substrate to position the substrate such that the lead contact part is connectable to the electrode pad, the substrate receiver part (a) configured to fix the lead contact part (i) in a position contacting the electrode pad of the substrate in a configuration in which the main body part is located at the first position or (ii) in a position in which a pressing force of the lead contact part on the electrode pad is limited to not greater than a predetermined value, and (b) configured to release fixation of the position of the lead contact part when the main body part is moved from the first position to the second position; and a stepped surface formed along the interior sidewall of the main body part, the stepped surface including a first portion and a second portion having a smaller interior dimension than the first portion, the stepped surface configured to press the contactor toward the electrode pad when the main body part is moved from the first position to the second position.
