Claim:
A contact member for a flat wiring member, comprising: a main section; a first contact arm extending from the main section; a second contact arm extending from the main section to face the first contact arm; a push section arranged to be pushed by a front end of the flat wiring member inserted between the first contact arm and the second contact arm; a locking section configured to lock the push section at a position to which the push section is pushed and displaced; and a third contact section extending from the main section in a direction opposite to the first and second contact arms; wherein when the push section is pushed by the front end of the flat wiring member inserted between the first contact arm and the second contact arm, either the first contact arm or the second contact arm is displaced to narrow a clearance between a first contact section at a front end of the first contact arm and a second contact arm at a front end of the second contact section so that the flat wiring member is held between the first contact section and the second contact section, and the push section is locked by the locking section.
