Abstract:
1. A connector which comprises: plural contacts which are juxtaposed in a pitch direction; and an insulative body which holds said contacts, wherein: each of said contacts has: a contacting portion which is to be contacted with a contact of a counter connector; a hold portion which is held by said body; and a terminal portion which is to be connected to corresponding one of lead wires drawn out from a cable; said terminal portion has a wire connecting portion to which the lead wire is to be soldered, said wire connecting portion being expansively opened along a connector thickness direction which is perpendicular to an insertion/extraction direction of said connector with respect to the counter connector; and the pitch direction perpendicular to the insertion/extraction direction; said wire connecting portion is expansively opened along the thickness direction of the connector while being formed into a V-like shape, said contacts include two kinds consisting of: first contacts which have a first wire connecting portion in an upper portion of a rear side in the insertion direction of said connector with respect to the counter connector, and which have a Y-like shape as viewed from the rear side in the insertion direction; and second contacts which have a second wire connecting portion in a lower portion of the rear side in the insertion direction, and which have an inverted Y-like shape as viewed from the rear side in the insertion direction; and said first contacts and said second contacts are alternately arranged in the pitch direction, and said first wire connecting portion has: one oblique side which extends toward the rear side in the insertion direction from an inclined portion that is formed by obliquely bending an upper portion of said terminal portion of corresponding one of said first contacts; and another oblique side which extends obliquely upward from a lower portion of said one oblique side via a bent portion, and said second wire connecting portion has: one oblique side which extends toward the rear side in the insertion direction from an inclined portion that is formed by obliquely bending a lower portion of said terminal portion of corresponding one of said second contacts; and another oblique side which extends obliquely downward from an upper portion of said one oblique side via a bent portion.
