• a housing including an opening space configured to receive the flat cable;
• and
• a plurality of contactors configured to be electrically connected to connection terminals of a terminal section formed at one surface side of a first portion of the flat cable, respectively,
• wherein the housing includes an upper section, a bottom section opposing the upper section, and a first side section coupling the upper section and the bottom section on one end side in a first direction,
• the opening space is a space surrounded by the upper section, the bottom section, and the first side section,
• the plurality of contactors are formed on a first inner face of the bottom section facing the opening space,
• the housing further includes an insertion opening on the other end side in the first direction, the insertion opening allowing a second portion of the flat cable excluding the first portion to be inserted from a side portion of the second portion into the opening space,
• the flat cable is allowed to move from a first position at which the second portion is located in the opening space to a second position at which the first portion is located in the opening space, and
• at a second inner face of the upper section facing the opening space, the connector includes a second recessed portion or a second protruding portion to be fitted with a first protruding portion or a first recessed portion provided at the other surface side of the first portion of the flat cable, in a state in which the flat cable is located at the second position and the connection terminals of the terminal section are electrically connected with the plurality of contactors, respectively.
