Abstract: A male connector includes a housing fixed to a base, a holding unit supported in such a manner as to enable displacement with respect to the housing; and an elastically deformable male terminal held by the holding unit. The housing is able to maintain the holding unit in a stationary state with the terminal undeformed and apart from the conductive film, while the holding unit is in the temporal locking position with the housing fixed to the base. The housing is able to maintain the holding unit in a stationary state with the terminal elastically deformed and contacting the conductive film, while the holding unit is in the non-temporal locking position with the housing fixed to the base.

Abstract: A front case 50 accommodates a substrate 30 on which female contacts 90 are mounted. The female contacts 90 are accommodated in a housing 70. From a rear portion 61 of a rear case 60, male contacts 80 protrude forward. The front protrusion 80a of each male contact 80 is provided inside a housing 62. When a housing 62 is fitted with a housing 70, each male contact 80 slides on and contacts leading ends 91a and 92a in the direction in which the housings are fitted.

The housing has a holding part having a contact insertion hole into which the held part is inserted. The contact insertion hole includes: a first insertion hole in which a side surface of the held part of the contact is held; a second insertion hole formed in a size that holds one opposite side surface of the held part of the contact, and having a space on the other opposite side surface side, the second insertion hole being formed to be longer than the first insertion hole; and a flange holding part. The held part of the contact is made longer than the leading end of the contact. This configuration can improve alignment accuracy of the contacts without using a compensation plate.
