Abstract:
1. A connector comprising a housing, an insertion slot into which a connection target is inserted along an insertion direction, an actuator and a contact, wherein the actuator has a pusher, wherein the actuator is held on the housing so as to be turnable between an open position and a close position, wherein the actuator allows the connection target to be inserted into the insertion slot when the actuator is positioned at the open position, wherein the pusher pushes the inserted connection target along a thickness direction perpendicular to the insertion direction when the actuator is positioned at the close position, wherein the contact is held by the housing, wherein the contact includes a spring section and a supported section supported by the spring section, wherein the supported section includes a press section and a contacting section, wherein the press section presses the pusher against the inserted connection target and receives, from the pusher, a reaction force directed away from the connection target when the actuator is located at the close position, and wherein the contacting section is brought into contact with the connection target to press the connection target against the housing when the press section is moved away from the connection target by the reaction force.
