Connector and connector assembly

A connector connecting a conductor portion of an electric wire to a flexible conductor of a sheet type conductive member, the connector comprising:

• a first connector portion including an electric wire retaining portion used to retain the electric wire, and a locking projection;
• and
• a second connector portion including a connecting spring member corresponding to the electric wire retained by the electric wire retaining portion, and a locking spring member corresponding to the locking projection,
• wherein the electric wire extends along a first direction,
• the connecting spring member and the locking spring member are disposed at a predetermined interval in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, and
• when the second connector portion is fitted to the first connector portion having the electric wire retained in the electric wire retaining portion with the sheet type conductive member being interposed between the second connector portion and the first connector portion, the flexible conductor of the sheet type conductive member is pressed against the conductor portion of the electric wire by the connecting spring member and electrically connected to the conductor portion, and the locking spring member catches on the locking projection so that a fitting state between the first connector portion and the second connector portion is locked.
