A connector configured to be mounted on a mounting object and fitted to a counter connector, the mounting object having a wiring portion disposed thereon,

• the connector comprising:
• a sheet member having flexibility and insulating property;
• a flexible conductor disposed at least on a top surface of the sheet member;
• a contact member having conductivity that is attached to the sheet member and configured to be electrically connected to a counter contact of the counter connector;
• and
• a positioning member configured to position the sheet member with respect to the counter connector,
• wherein the sheet member includes a fitting portion to be fitted to the counter connector, and a mounting portion to be mounted on the mounting object,
• the contact member and the positioning member are disposed in the fitting portion of the sheet member, and
• the flexible conductor includes a first connection portion disposed in the fitting portion of the sheet member and electrically connected to the contact member, a second connection portion disposed in the mounting portion of the sheet member and to be electrically connected to the wiring portion of the mounting object, and a joint portion joining the first connection portion and the second connection portion to each other,
• wherein the positioning member is composed of a frame-shaped member attached to a periphery of the fitting portion of the sheet member so as to surround the fitting portion, and
• the positioning member is to be fitted in a positioning groove portion formed in the counter connector, whereby the sheet member is positioned with respect to the counter connector.
