Abstract:
1. A connector for connecting a first connection object of a flat shape to a second connection object of a flat shape, the connector comprising: an insulator; and a conductive member coupled to the insulator, said insulator comprising: a base surface extending along a flat plane; a first insert portion defined by the base surface with first fixing portions comprising first fastening holes formed therethrough and to receive the first connection object therein in a first direction parallel to the base surface; and a second insert portion with second fixing portions comprising second fastening holes formed therethrough placed parallel and opposite to the first insert portion on the flat plane and to receive the second connection object therein in a second direction which is parallel to the base surface and different from the first direction, the conductive member comprising: first contacting portions disposed over the base surface in first and second rows and to be brought into contact with the first connection object in a third direction perpendicular to the flat plane; a second contacting portion disposed in the second insert portion and to be brought into contact with the second connection object in the third direction; and a base plate portion connected to the first and the second contacting portions and fixedly held by the insulator; wherein the insulator being mounted to a circuit board, the first and second contacting portions further comprising terminal portions to be connected to the circuit board.
