Abstract
A connector includes: a tubular, conductive plug contact having a recessed portion extending along a fitting axis; and an inner contact constituted of a projection that is inserted in the recessed portion and has an outer peripheral surface covered with a conductive layer, the inner contact having a contacting portion contacting the plug contact within the recessed portion and a pressing portion situated in a rotational position different from the contacting portion about the fitting axis, a part of a sheet type connection object having a flexible conductor exposed on at least one surface of the connection object being sandwiched between the pressing portion and an inner surface of the recessed portion in a direction perpendicular to the fitting axis.

A connector comprising:
- a plug contact having a conductive property, having a tubular shape, and including a recessed portion extending along a fitting axis;
- and
- an inner contact constituted of a projection that is inserted in the recessed portion and has an outer peripheral surface covered with a conductive layer,
- wherein the inner contact has a contacting portion making contact with the plug contact within the recessed portion and a pressing portion situated in a rotational position different from the contacting portion about the fitting axis, and
- a part of a connection object of sheet type having a flexible conductor exposed on at least one surface of the connection object is sandwiched between the pressing portion and an inner surface of the recessed portion in a direction perpendicular to the fitting axis, the inner surface of the recessed portion makes contact with a top surface of the connection object, and the pressing portion makes contact with a bottom surface of the connection object, whereby the plug contact is electrically connected to the flexible conductor directly when the flexible conductor is exposed on the top surface of the connection object, and the plug contact is electrically connected to the flexible conductor via the inner contact when the flexible conductor is exposed on the bottom surface of the connection object.
