Connector which is provided with an operation member for making the connector be connected to a connection member

A connector for use in connecting a sheet-like connection member having first and second surfaces opposite to each other in a predetermined direction, said connector comprising an insulator for receiving said connection member, a contact member held by said insulator, and an operation member manually operable, said contact member comprising:

• a fixed portion fixed to said insulator;
• a bendable portion being bendable and extending from said fixed portion to have an extended end;
• a first arm portion extending from said extended end to face said first surface and being for engaging with said operation member to be moved by manual operation of said operation member in said predetermined direction with bending of said bendable portion;
• a second arm portion connected to said first arm portion and extending to face said second surface, said second arm being moved together with said first arm portion;
• wherein said operation member is movable between a first position where said operation member is placed between said first arm portion and said first surface of the connection member and a second position displaced from said first position, and said operation member urging, when said operation member is at said first position, said first arm portion in said predetermined direction to make said second arm portion become into contact with said second surface of the connection member.
