Connector

A connector comprising:

• a first connector part that includes a plurality of first metal parts arranged in a row and a first housing holding the plurality of first metal parts by insert molding, the plurality of first metal parts each having at least one bending portion that bends, and the bending portions of the plurality of first metal parts being aligned in a direction where the plurality of first metal parts are arranged;
• and
• a second connector part that includes a plurality of second metal parts and a second housing holding the plurality of second metal parts, wherein
• when the first connector part and the second connector part are mated, the plurality of first metal parts of the first connector part are brought into contact with the plurality of respective second metal parts of the second connector part,
• when the first metal parts are brought into contact with the respective second metal parts, each of the second metal parts exerts a resistance force against pull-out of the first connector part from the second connector part, and
• a magnitude of the resistance force of a special metal part as one of the plurality of second metal parts of the second connector part is configured to be different from a magnitude of the resistance force of a normal metal part as the second metal part other than the special metal part.
