1. A connector comprising: a housing; and a terminal including a first contact portion and a second contact portion to be brought into contact with a mating terminal of a mating connector, a first elastic portion and a second elastic portion elastically deformable in a direction to contact the mating terminal, and a first fixing portion fixed to the housing, wherein the housing includes a central partition wall formed at a central portion of the connector in a front-back direction and extending in the direction to contact the mating terminal, so as to oppose a projecting portion of a housing of the mating connector and to retain the mating terminal when the connectors are fitted together, the terminal is disposed such that the first fixing portion contacts the central partition wall, the first and the second elastic portions are formed so as to extend upward from an upper end portion of the first fixing portion and spaced from each other in the front-back direction with the second elastic portion located closer to the central portion in the front-back direction than the first elastic portion, and the second elastic portion includes a bent section formed close to a proximal end portion connected to the first fixing portion, so as to circumvent along a shape of a distal end portion and a part of a lateral portion of the projecting portion of the mating connector.
