Abstract
Abstract In a connector for connecting a thin sheet member to a mating object, a conductive shell portion collectively covering a base insulator and a cover insulator in a predetermined direction. The base insulator has a through hole penetrating therethrough in the predetermined direction. The cover insulator is cooperated with the base insulator and is for holding the thin sheet member in the predetermined direction. The shell portion has a first spring part to be brought into press contact with the thin sheet member via the through hole and a second spring part for pressing the cover insulator towards the thin sheet member.
