Connector and electronic device

A connector that is mounted on a circuit board and is to be mated with a connection object, the connector comprising:

• an insulator comprising a pair of side walls and having a rectangular shape;
• and
• multiple contacts attached to the pair of side walls,
• each of the multiple contacts comprising a mounting portion, a resilient portion, and a contacting portion,
• the mounting portion being mounted on the circuit board,
• the contacting portion being configured to contact a connection object while the connector and the connection object are mated with each other,
• the resilient portion being located between the mounting portion and the contacting portion and being resiliently deformable,
• wherein the resilient portion and the insulator define a space therebetween,
• wherein the resilient portion comprises a bent portion bent in a direction perpendicular to a mating direction in which the connector and the connection object are mated with each other,
• wherein the insulator comprises a recess formed in the insulator and extending toward the mounting portion, and the recess defines the space,
• wherein the recess formed in the insulator extends from an end of the resilient portion adjacent to the contacting portion toward the mounting portion,
• wherein the space is defined between the resilient portion and the insulator in a direction perpendicular to a mating direction in which the connector and the connection object are mated with each other,
• wherein each of the multiple contacts comprises a supported section supported by a respective one of the pair of side walls, and the resilient portion is located between the mounting portion and the supported section,
• wherein each of the multiple contacts comprises a narrowed portion reducing a dimension of the resilient portion in a longitudinal direction of the connector,
• wherein the narrowed portion is located at an end of the resilient portion adjacent to the mounting portion, and
• wherein the bent portion and the mounting portion are each bent away from the insulator.
