Connector and connector assembly

A connector configured to connect a conductor portion of an electric wire to a flexible conductor exposed on at least one surface of a sheet type conductive member having an opening portion, the connector comprising:

• a first insulator including a first retaining surface, a recessed portion formed in the first retaining surface, and a projection formed in the recessed portion to project higher than the first retaining surface;
• and
• a second insulator including a second retaining surface that faces the first retaining surface, a protrusion portion that is formed on the second retaining surface and faces the recessed portion, and a projection accommodating portion of recess shape that is formed in the protrusion portion and is deeper than the second retaining surface,
• wherein the first insulator and the second insulator are joined to each other such that the projection is inserted in the opening portion of the sheet type conductive member, that the sheet type conductive member and the electric wire are held between the first retaining surface and the second retaining surface, and that the sheet type conductive member and the electric wire are disposed to overlap each other between the recessed portion and the protrusion portion, and
• at least part of the projection is accommodated in the projection accommodating portion, whereby the conductor portion of the electric wire is electrically connected to the flexible conductor of the sheet type conductive member between an outer lateral surface of the projection and an inner lateral surface of the projection accommodating portion.
