Claim:
A battery connector having: a meandering contact member in which a plurality of plate piece portions are continuously integrated with one another through one or more arcuate flexible portions; a mountain-like projection which is formed in one of said plate piece portions that is on one end side of said contact member, and in which a top is formed as a contact that is to be in elastic contact with a battery terminal; a housing which houses said contact member; an opening which is formed in said housing, and through which said mountain-like projection is projected; an arcuate portion which is formed in said mountain-like projection to be bent toward an inner side of said mountain-like projection, and an engagement piece portion which is laterally projected from an end portion of said arcuate portion; and an engagement face which is formed by a rear face of a peripheral portion of said opening, and with which said engagement piece portion is in elastic contact and engaged under a preload, whereby a degree of projection of said mountain-like projection from said opening is restricted, wherein said battery connector further has a wall face of said housing that is to confront a board face of a circuit board on which said housing is to be mounted, and that opposes said arcuate portion of said mountain-like projection, and said engagement piece portion is displaced in a direction along which said board face of said circuit board and said wall face of said housing confront each other, to be in sliding contact with said engagement face, and has a shape which is free from an angular edge that, when said engagement piece portion is in sliding contact with said engagement face, shaves said engagement face.
