Connector

A combination of a connector and a mating connector able to be mated with the connector,

• the connector comprising:
• a mating surface on which the connector is mated with a mating connector in a first direction;
• a contact having an edge and a notch, the edge facing the mating surface in the first direction, the notch extending from the edge along the first direction;
• and
• a housing formed with a contact holder and a protrusion, the contact holder holding the contact, the protrusion being positioned in part within the notch of the contact, a part of the protrusion extending along the first direction toward the mating surface of the connector over the edge of the contact, the protrusion extending within the contact holder along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction more than the contact extends along the second direction within the contact holder;
• the mating connector comprising:
• a mating power supply contact for connection with the contact of the connector, the mating power supply contact including a first contact point and a second contact point slidable on the contact of the connector, the second contact point being offset from the first contact point in a third direction perpendicular both to the first direction and the second direction so that a space exists between the first contact point and the second contact point in the third direction, the space being able to receive a protrusion of the connector;
• wherein when the mating connector is mated with the connector, the protrusion of the connector is interposed between the first contact point of the mating power supply contact and the second contact point of the mating power supply contact in the space between the first contact point and the second contact point.
