A sheet type conductive member that extends along a predetermined plane and is attached to a connector, the sheet type conductive member comprising:
- a sheet body having insulating properties;
- and
- a first flexible conductor disposed on a front surface side of the sheet body, and a second flexible conductor disposed on a rear surface side of the sheet body,
- wherein the sheet type conductive member comprises a tongue portion projecting in a tongue shape in the predetermined plane,
- wherein a contact arrangement region in which a contact of the connector is arranged is laid out on a front surface of the sheet type conductive member,
- wherein the first flexible conductor is exposed on the contact arrangement region,
- wherein the second flexible conductor is exposed on a rear surface of the tongue portion, and
- wherein at least part of the tongue portion is folded back to a front surface side of the sheet type conductive member so that a contact connecting portion composed of part of the first flexible conductor and part of the second flexible conductor is formed in the contact arrangement region.
A connector configured to be fitted with a counter connector in a fitting direction, comprising:
- a sheet type conductive member that extends along a predetermined plane;
- a contact;
- and
- a housing having insulating properties and configured to retain the sheet type conductive member and the contact,
- wherein the sheet type conductive member comprises:
- a sheet body having insulating properties;
- and
- a first flexible conductor disposed on a front surface side of the sheet body, and a second flexible conductor disposed on a rear surface side of the sheet body,
- wherein the sheet type conductive member comprises a tongue portion projecting in a tongue shape in the predetermined plane,
- wherein a contact arrangement region in which a contact of the connector is arranged is laid out on a front surface of the sheet type conductive member,
- wherein the first flexible conductor is exposed on the contact arrangement region,
- wherein the second flexible conductor is exposed on a rear surface of the tongue portion,
- wherein at least part of the tongue portion is folded back to a front surface side of the sheet type conductive member so that a contact connecting portion composed of part of the first flexible conductor and part of the second flexible conductor is formed in the contact arrangement region,
- wherein the contact is connected to the contact connecting portion in the contact arrangement region.
