Claim:
A connector comprising: an insulator having an accommodation space into which an object to be connected to said connector is removably insertable, said object being shaped into a thin plate and having a pair of engaging recesses at opposite side edges of said object; at least one contact fixed to said insulator, said object being connected to said contact upon being inserted into said accommodation space; and a pair of resilient engaging protrusions, each having an engaging portion, which are resiliently deformable in opposite directions away from each other in a plane in which said object lies, said engaging portions of said pair of resilient engaging protrusions being respectively engaged in said pair of engaging recesses of said object that is inserted into said accommodation space, wherein a distance between said engaging portions of said pair of resilient engaging protrusions in a free state is smaller than a width of an insertion end of said object which is to be inserted into said accommodation space; and wherein a pair of bottom holes are formed in said insulator to receive the lower parts of said pair of resilient engaging protrusions, respectively.
