Connectors and electronic equipment

Abstract

A connector 10 of the present disclosure is provided with a plurality of pairs of contacts 50 attached to a first insulator 20 and a second insulator 30. The pairs of contacts 50 each include a first base section 51, a second base section 56, a first bent section 53 that bends from the first base section 51, a second bent section 55 that bends from the second base section 56, and an elastic section 54 that is disposed between the first bent section 53 and the second bent section 55 and is elastically deformable. In one of the contacts 50, a first surface in at least a portion of the elastic section 54 opposes a first surface in the elastic section 54 of the other contact 50. At least one of the first bent section 53 and the second bent section 55 has a first part that extends out from the corresponding base section along the arrangement direction toward the other contact 50.
