Connector capable of connecting a connection object in an easily exchangeable manner

A connector for connecting a first connection object and a second connection object to each other, the connector comprising:

• a contact;
• and
• a housing which holds the contact;
• wherein the contact includes:
• a first connecting portion to be connected to the first connection object;
• a second connecting portion to be connected to the second connection object;
• and
• a holding portion which is held by the housing;
• wherein the first connecting portion includes:
• a base portion;
• a pair of coupling portions which extend from the base portion towards a first direction and are faced to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction;
• and
• a pair of contacting portions which extend from the coupling portions, respectively, towards a third direction intersecting the first and second direction, and which then turn to be arranged beside the coupling portions substantially in the third direction, respectively;
• wherein the contacting portions include:
• fitting portions, each of which is at an end side of the first direction;
• and
• free ends, each of which is at another end side opposite to the first direction and is movable relative to each of the coupling portions;
• and
• wherein the contact is designed so that, upon connection with the first connection object, a distance between the contacting portions is narrower at the fitting portions than that at the ends.
