Connector

A connector that is mounted on a board and that is fitted with a counter connector along a fitting direction, the connector comprising:

• a contact;
• an insulator that holds the contact;
• and
• a conductive shell that includes a counter-connector accommodation portion and that surrounds and holds the insulator,
• wherein the contact includes
• a contact portion that is formed at one end of the contact and is disposed in the counter-connector accommodation portion of the conductive shell,
• a board connection portion that is formed at the other end of the contact and is to be inserted in a through-hole in the board and connected to a signal pattern of the board,
• a fixing portion that is disposed between the contact portion and the board connection portion and is fixed to the insulator,
• a bending portion that is disposed between the fixing portion and the board connection portion and is elastically deformable so as to bend with respect to the fitting direction, and
• a movable hold portion that is disposed between the bending portion and the board connection portion and is held by the insulator so as to be movable within a predetermined range.
