Even in a connector using a floating structure, a design corresponding to such a large capacity and high-speed transmission is required. However, in conventional connectors including, for example, the floating connector described in Patent Document 1, designs corresponding to high-speed transmission, such as crosstalk between terminals, have not been sufficiently considered. 【0010】 According to the connector, connector module, and electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, even when using a floating structure, it is possible to obtain good transmission characteristics in signal transmission. 【0011】 Hereinafter, an embodiment of this disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. In the following description, the directions of front / back, left / right, and up / down are based on the directions of the arrows in the figures. The directions of each arrow are consistent across different drawings in Figures 1 to 14 and Figure 17. The directions of each arrow are consistent across Figures 15 and 16. In some drawings, for the purpose of simplified illustration, the circuit boards CB1 and CB2, which will be described later, are omitted. 【0012】 Figure 1 is a top-view perspective view of a connector 10 according to one embodiment, showing the state in which the object to be connected 70 is connected. Figure 2 is a top-view perspective view of a connector 10 according to one embodiment, showing the state in which it is separated from the object to be connected 70. For example, as shown in Figure 2, the connector module 1 has a connector 10 and an object to be connected 70. The connector 10 has a first insulator 20 as a fixed insulator, a second insulator 30 as a movable insulator, a metal fitting 40, a first contact 50a and a second contact 50b, and a shielding member 60. Hereinafter, when the first contact 50a and the second contact 50b are not distinguished from each other, they will simply be referred to as "contact 50". The object to be connected 70 has an insulator 80, a metal fitting 90, a first contact 100a and a second contact 100b, and a shielding member 110. In the following, when the first contact 100a and the second contact 100b are not distinguished from each other, they will simply be referred to as "contact 100". 【0013】 In the following, for example, the connector 10 according to one embodiment will be described as a plug connector. For example, the object to be connected 70 will be described as a receptacle connector. A plug connector is described as one in which, in a mated state in which the second insulator 30 of the connector 10 and the object to be connected 70 are mated together, the part of the contact 50 that contacts the contact 100 does not undergo elastic deformation. On the other hand, a receptacle connector is described as one in which, in a mated state, the part of the contact 100 that contacts the contact 50 undergoes elastic deformation. The types of connector 10 and object to be connected 70 are not limited to these. For example, the connector 10 may function as a receptacle connector and the object to be connected 70 may function as a plug connector. 【0014】 In the following description, the connector 10 and the object to be connected 70 are mounted on circuit boards CB1 and CB2, respectively. The connector 10 electrically connects circuit board CB2 and circuit board CB1, on which the object to be connected 70 is mounted, via the object to be connected 70 which is mated with the second insulator 30 of the connector 10. Circuit boards CB1 and CB2 may be rigid boards or any other type of circuit board. For example, at least one of circuit boards CB1 and CB2 may be a flexible printed circuit board (FPC). 【0015】 In the following description, the connector 10 and the object to be connected 70 are connected to each other perpendicularly to the circuit boards CB1 and CB2. As an example, the connector 10 and the object to be connected 70 are connected to each other along the vertical direction. When the second insulator 30 and the object to be connected 70 are mated to each other, the mating direction is perpendicular to the circuit board CB1. 【0016】 The connection method is not limited thereto. The connector 10 and the object to be connected 70 may be connected to each other in a direction parallel to the circuit boards CB1 and CB2. The connector 10 and the object to be connected 70 may be connected to each other such that one is perpendicular to the mounted circuit board and the other is parallel to the mounted circuit board. 【0017】 In the following explanation, "mating direction" refers, for example, to the up-and-down direction. "Short-side direction of connector 10" refers, for example, to the front-to-back direction. "Long-side direction of connector 10" refers, for example, to the left-to-right direction. "Arrangement direction of multiple pairs of contacts 50" is synonymous with the arrangement direction of multiple contacts 50, and for example, refers to the left-to-right direction. "Mating side" refers, for example, to the bottom side. "Removal side" refers, for example, to the top side. 【0018】 "Mated state" means a state in which the second insulator 30 of the connector 10 and the object to be connected 70 are mated with each other, and the contact 100 is elastically deformed by contact with the contact 50. "Unmated state" means a state in which the second insulator 30 of the connector 10 and the object to be connected 70 are not mated with each other, and the contact 100 is not elastically deformed by external force. "Along with" means a planar surface parallel to the target component or direction. Not limited to this, "along with" may also mean a curved surface, an oblique surface, etc. with respect to the target component or direction. For example, if it is stated that "the first shielding part 61a is arranged to overlap with the contact 50 'along with' the first direction", the first shielding part 61a may be arranged to overlap with the contact 50 in a planar surface parallel to the first direction, or to overlap with the contact 50 in a curved surface with respect to the first direction, or to overlap with the contact 50 obliquely with respect to the first direction. 【0019】 In one embodiment, the connector 10 has a floating structure. The connector 10 allows the connected object 70 to move relative to the circuit board CB1 in six directions: up, down, front, back, left, and right. Even when connected to the connector 10, the connected object 70 can move within a predetermined range in the six directions: up, down, front, back, left, and right relative to the circuit board CB1. In addition to the six directions: up, down, front, back, left, and right, the connected object 70 may also move within a predetermined range in diagonal directions between each of these directions. 【0020】 Figure 3 is an external perspective view of the connector 10 shown in Figure 1, viewed from above.

In the second contact 50b of the pair of contacts 50, the entire elastic portion 54b has a first surface perpendicular to the thickness direction of the contact 50 that faces the first surface of the elastic portion 54a of the first contact 50a. In this disclosure, the "first surface" is, for example, the rolling surface. In Figures 6 to 11, the first surface of the elastic portion 54 is, for example, a surface facing left or right. The entire pairs of elastic portions 54 have first surfaces that face each other in the direction of the arrangement of the multiple pairs of contacts 50. 【0059】 The pair of first base portions 51 face each other in the direction of the arrangement of the multiple pairs of contacts 50, with their second surfaces parallel to the thickness direction of the contact 50. The pair of second base portions 56 face each other in the direction of the arrangement of the multiple pairs of contacts 50, with their second surfaces parallel to the thickness direction of the contact 50. In this disclosure, the "second surface" is, for example, a fracture surface. In Figures 6 to 11, the second surfaces of the first base portion 51 and the second surfaces of the second base portion 56 are, for example, surfaces facing left to right. 【0060】 As described above, in the contact 50, the rolled surfaces of the first base 51 and the second base 56 are oriented in the front-to-back direction, while the rolled surface of the elastic portion 54 is oriented in the left-to-right direction. In the contact 50, the fracture surfaces of the first base 51 and the second base 56 are oriented in the left-to-right direction, while the fracture surface of the elastic portion 54 is oriented in various directions perpendicular to the left-to-right direction. 【0061】 As shown in Figures 6 and 9, in the first contact 50a of the pair of contacts 50, the first connecting portion 53a and the second connecting portion 55a each have a first part 53a1 and a first part 55a1, respectively. 【0062】 The first portion 53a1 extends from the corresponding first base 51a toward the second contact 50b along the alignment direction so that the elastic portion 54a is brought closer to the elastic portion 54b of the second contact 50b along the alignment direction of the multiple pairs of contacts 50. The first portion 53a1 extends from the corresponding first base 51a toward the second contact 50b along the alignment direction so that the distance between a pair of elastic portions 54 is narrower than the distance between a pair of contacts 50 along that alignment direction. 【0063】 The first portion 55a1 extends from the corresponding second base 56a toward the second contact 50b along the alignment direction, such that the elastic portion 54a is brought closer to the elastic portion 54b of the second contact 50b along the alignment direction of the multiple pairs of contacts 50. The first portion 55a1 extends from the corresponding second base 56a toward the second contact 50b along the alignment direction, such that the distance between a pair of elastic portions 54 is narrower than the distance between a pair of contacts 50 along that alignment direction. 【0064】 In the second contact 50b of the pair of contacts 50, the first connecting portion 53b and the second connecting portion 55b each have a first portion 53b1 and a first portion 55b1, respectively. 【0065】 The first portion 53b1 extends from the corresponding first base 51b toward the first contact 50a along the alignment direction so that the elastic portion 54b is brought closer to the elastic portion 54a of the first contact 50a along the alignment direction of the multiple pairs of contacts 50. The first portion 53b1 extends from the corresponding first base 51b toward the first contact 50a along the alignment direction so that the distance between a pair of elastic portions 54 is narrower than the distance between a pair of contacts 50 along that alignment direction. 【0066】 The first portion 55b1 extends from the corresponding second base 56b toward the first contact 50a along the alignment direction so that the elastic portion 54b is brought closer to the elastic portion 54a of the first contact 50a along the alignment direction of the multiple pairs of contacts 50. The first portion 55b1 extends from the corresponding second base 56b toward the first contact 50a along the alignment direction so that the distance between a pair of elastic portions 54 is narrower than the distance between a pair of contacts 50 along that alignment direction. 【0067】 The first connecting portion 53 connects the first base 51 and the elastic portion 54 such that the pair of elastic portions 54 are located further inward along the arrangement direction than the pair of first base portions 51. More specifically, the first connecting portion 53 connects the first base 51 and the elastic portion 54 such that, in the arrangement direction, the outer edges of the pair of elastic portions 54 are located further inward than the outer edges of the pair of first base portions 51. The first connecting portion 53 connects the first base 51 and the elastic portion 54 such that, in the arrangement direction, the centerline of the elastic portion 54 is located further inward than the centerline of the first base portion 51. 【0068】 The second connecting portion 55 connects the second base portion 56 and the elastic portion 54 such that the pair of elastic portions 54 are located further inward along the arrangement direction than the pair of second base portions 56. More specifically, the second connecting portion 55 connects the second base portion 56 and the elastic portion 54 such that, in the arrangement direction, the outer edges of the pair of elastic portions 54 are located further inward than the outer edges of the pair of second base portions 56. The second connecting portion 55 connects the second base portion 56 and the elastic portion 54 such that, in the arrangement direction, the centerline of the elastic portion 54 is located further inward than the centerline of the second base portion 56. 【0069】 As shown in Figures 7 and 10, in the direction of arrangement of multiple pairs of contacts 50, the distance L0 between the pair of centerlines of a pair of elastic parts 54 is shorter than the distance L1 between the pair of centerlines of a pair of first base parts 51 and the distance L2 between the pair of centerlines of a pair of second base parts 56. 【0070】 As shown in Figures 6 and 9, in the first contact 50a of the pair of contacts 50, the first connecting portion 53a and the second connecting portion 55a each have a second portion 53a2 and a second portion 55a2, respectively. The second portion 53a2 bends from the first portion 53a1 toward the other insulator, i.e., the second insulator 30. The second portion 55a2 bends from the first portion 55a1 toward the other insulator, i.e., the first insulator 20. 【0071】 In the second contact 50b of the pair of contacts 50, the first connecting portion 53b and the second connecting portion 55b each have a second portion 53b2 and a second portion 55b2, respectively. The second portion 53b2 bends from the first portion 53b1 toward the other insulator, i.e., the second insulator 30. The second portion 55b2 bends from the first portion 55b1 toward the other insulator, i.e., the first insulator 20. 【0072】 Each pair of contacts 50 has a pair of first notches 58, which are located on the inside in the left-right direction of the pair of contacts 50. The pair of first notches 58 face each other on the inside in the left-right direction of the pair of contacts 50. Each pair of contacts 50 has a pair of second notches 59, which are located on the inside in the left-right direction of the pair of contacts 50. The pair of second notches 59 face each other on the inside in the left-right direction of the pair of contacts 50. 【0073】 As shown in Figures 8 and 11, when viewed from the direction of arrangement of multiple pairs of contacts 50, the width of overlap between a pair of elastic parts 54 in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the contacts 50 is greater than the width of overlap between a pair of first base parts 51 and a pair of second base parts 56. In the case of a crank-shaped elastic part 54 as shown in Figure 11, the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the contacts 50 is the vertical direction in the portion extending in the front-rear direction, and the front-rear direction in the portion extending in the vertical direction. In the case of an elastic part 54 having each bent portion that forms a gentle curve as shown in Figure 8, the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the contacts 50 is the radial direction of the radius of curvature in the bent portion. 【0074】 Figure 12 is a top-view perspective view of the pair of contacts 50 and shielding members 60 shown in Figure 4. Figure 13 is a top-view perspective view of four pairs of contacts 50 and shielding members 60 shown in Figure 12.

The processing method for the shielding member 60 includes a step of bending the sheet in the thickness direction after punching. When viewed from above, the shielding member 60 has a shape along three consecutive sides of a rectangle. 【0077】 As shown in Figure 4, the shielding members 60 are arranged in multiple locations along the longitudinal direction of the connector 10. The shielding members 60 are attached to the first insulator 20 and the second insulator 30. More specifically, the shielding member 60 includes a first shielding member 60a attached to the second insulator 30 and a second shielding member 60b attached to the first insulator 20. 【0078】 As shown in Figure 13, the pair of shielding members 60, which are arranged at the same left-right position, are arranged symmetrically with respect to each other along the front-rear direction.

More specifically, multiple first contacts 100a are each mounted in multiple first contact mounting grooves 84a of the insulator 80. Multiple second contacts 100b are each mounted in multiple second contact mounting grooves 84b of the insulator 80. 【0122】 The locking portion 103 of the contact 100 engages with the contact mounting groove 84 of the insulator 80. At this time, the elastic contact piece 104 of the contact 100 is arranged to be elastically deformable along the front-rear direction inside the contact mounting groove 84. The contact portion 105 of the elastic contact piece 104 is exposed from the contact mounting groove 84 and is located inside the fitting recess 81. 【0123】 The first shielding portion 111 and the second shielding portion 112 of the shielding member 110 are substantially locked into a mounting groove 85 located inside the insulator 80. The shielding member 110 is attached to the insulator 80. 【0124】 In the connection target 70 with the structure described above, for example, it is mounted on the circuit forming surface located on the mounting surface of the circuit board CB2. More specifically, the mounting portion 91 of the metal fitting 90 is placed on the solder paste applied to the pattern on the circuit board CB2. The mounting portion 101 of the contact 100 is placed on the solder paste applied to the pattern on the circuit board CB2. The mounting portion 114 of the shielding member 110 is placed on the solder paste applied to the pattern on the circuit board CB2. 【0125】 By heating and melting each solder paste in a reflow oven or the like, the mounting parts 91, 101, and 114 are soldered to the above patterns. As a result, the mounting of the connection target 70 to the circuit board CB2 is completed. Electronic components other than the connection target 70, such as a camera module and sensors, are mounted on the circuit formation surface of the circuit board CB2. 【0126】 Figure 17 is a cross-sectional view along the line XVII-XVII in Figure 1. The operation of the floating connector 10 will be mainly described with reference to Figure 17. 【0127】 The first insulator 20 is fixed to the circuit board CB1 by soldering the mounting portion 52 of the contact 50 to the circuit board CB1. The second shielding member 60b attached to the first insulator 20 is also fixed to the circuit board CB1. The second insulator 30 becomes movable relative to the first insulator 20 fixed to the circuit board CB1 due to the elastic deformation of the contact 50. The first shielding member 60a attached to the second insulator 30 is also movable relative to the first insulator 20 as the second insulator 30 moves. For example, the first shielding portion 61a is movable relative to the first insulator 20 as the second insulator 30 moves. At this time, the connecting portion 67 connecting the first shielding member 60a and the second shielding member 60b in the shielding member 60 undergoes elastic deformation. 【0128】 As can be seen from Figure 4, the second restricting portion 23b of the first insulator 20 restricts excessive movement of the second insulator 30 in the front-rear direction relative to the first insulator 20. For example, if the second insulator 30 moves significantly in the front-rear direction beyond the design value due to the elastic deformation of the contact 50, the second restricted portion 36b of the second insulator 30 comes into contact with the second restricting portion 23b. As a result, the second insulator 30 does not move any further outward in the front-rear direction. 【0129】 The first restricting portion 23a of the first insulator 20 restricts excessive lateral movement of the second insulator 30 relative to the first insulator 20. For example, if the second insulator 30 moves significantly beyond the design value in the lateral direction due to the elastic deformation of the contact 50, the first restricted portion 36a of the second insulator 30 comes into contact with the first restricting portion 23a. As a result, the second insulator 30 does not move any further outward in the lateral direction. 【0130】 With the connector 10 having the floating structure described above, the object to be connected 70 is positioned with its vertical orientation reversed, and the front-to-back and left-to-right positions of the connector 10 and the object to be connected 70 are made to approximately coincide, while facing each other in the vertical direction. Then, the object to be connected 70 is moved downward. At this time, even if their positions are slightly misaligned in the front-to-back and left-to-right directions, the floating structure of the connector 10 causes the second insulator 30 to move relative to the first insulator 20. 【0131】 More specifically, the fitting projection 32 of the second insulator 30 is drawn into the fitting recess 81 of the insulator 80. When the object to be connected 70 is moved further downward, the fitting projection 32 of the second insulator 30 and the fitting recess 81 of the insulator 80 engage with each other. At this time, the fitting recess 33 of the second insulator 30 and the fitting projection 82 of the insulator 80 engage with each other. 【0132】 As shown in Figure 17, in the mated state in which the second insulator 30 of the connector 10 and the insulator 80 of the object to be connected 70 are fitted together, the contact 50 of the connector 10 and the contact 100 of the object to be connected 70 are in contact with each other. More specifically, the contact portion 57 of the contact 50 and the contact portion 105 of the contact 100 are in contact with each other. The contact portion 57a ​​of the first contact 50a and the contact portion 105 of the first contact 100a are in contact with each other. The contact portion 57b of the second contact 50b and the contact portion 105 of the second contact 100b are in contact with each other. At this time, the elastic contact piece 104 of the contact 100 is slightly elastically deformed along the front-rear direction and elastically displaced along the front-rear direction inside the contact mounting groove 84. 【0133】 As a result, connector 10 and object 70 are fully connected. At this time, circuit board CB1 and circuit board CB2 are electrically connected via contacts 50 and 100. 【0134】 In the mated state in which the connector 10 and the object to be connected 70 are fitted together, the first shielding member 60a and the shielding member 110 are in contact with each other. More specifically, the elastic contact piece 113 of the shielding member 110 is in contact with the left-right inner surface of the first shielding portion 61a of the first shielding member 60a. 【0135】 The following explanation will primarily focus on connector 10 and its effects, but similar explanations apply to connector module 1 and electronic equipment. 【0136】 According to the connector 10 of the above embodiment, it is possible to easily adjust the characteristic impedance while maintaining the mobility of the movable insulator. The connector 10 can obtain good transmission characteristics in signal transmission while maintaining the mobility of the movable insulator. 【0137】 In the connector 10, in one of the pair of contacts 50, at least a portion of the first surface of the elastic portion 54 of one contact 50 faces the first surface of the elastic portion 54 of the other contact 50. The pair of contacts 50 face each other with their first surfaces having a larger area perpendicular to the thickness direction of the contacts 50. This allows a capacitor-like effect to be obtained between the pair of contacts 50. If the capacitance is C, then the characteristic impedance Z depends on the capacitance C. For example, the characteristic impedance Z is inversely proportional to the square root of the capacitance C, or inversely proportional to the capacitance C. 【0138】 Therefore, by increasing the capacitance C by widening the opposing area of ​​the capacitors, the characteristic impedance is reduced. Compared to the case where the pair of elastic parts 54 face each other on a second surface, the connector 10 allows for adjustment of the characteristic impedance while maintaining a design-appropriate spacing in the alignment direction between the pair of contacts 50. This makes it possible to adjust the characteristic impedance while maintaining the plate thickness of the elastic part 54 of the contact 50 and the width of the first surface in the direction perpendicular to its extending direction. Since the connector 10 can maintain the plate thickness of the elastic part 54 of the contact 50 and the width of the first surface in the direction perpendicular to its extending direction, the reduction in the mobility of the second insulator 30 is reduced, and the size of the connector 10 can also be reduced. 【0139】 Conversely, the connector 10 can easily adjust the characteristic impedance by freely changing the width of the first surface in the direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the elastic portion 54 of the contact 50. Therefore, the connector 10 can offer greater design flexibility compared to the case where a pair of elastic portions 54 face each other on a second surface. 【0140】 As described above, the connector 10 makes it easier to match the characteristic impedance value to an ideal value based on the capacitor configuration in the elastic part 54 of the contact 50. The connector 10 can improve the transmission characteristics in signal transmission while maintaining the mobility of the second insulator 30. The connector 10 can achieve both the adjustment of the characteristic impedance necessary for high-speed transmission and the mobility of the movable insulator while increasing the design flexibility. 【0141】 In the connector 10, one of the pair of contacts 50 has a first portion, which is either the first connecting portion 53 or the second connecting portion 55. This makes it possible to bring the elastic portion 54 of one contact 50 closer to the elastic portion 54 of the other contact 50 along the direction of arrangement of the multiple pairs of contacts 50. Consequently, the capacitance C of the capacitor formed by the pair of elastic portions 54 becomes even larger. The characteristic impedance is further reduced. As a result, the above-mentioned effect of being able to adjust the characteristic impedance and achieve both the adjustability of the movable insulator and the freedom of design of the contacts 50 becomes even more pronounced. 【0142】 At least a portion of each pair of elastic parts 54 faces each other in the direction of the arrangement of multiple pairs of contacts 50 on their first surfaces. This makes it possible to achieve space saving in the direction of the arrangement of the elastic parts 54 while also making the above-mentioned effects on adjusting the characteristic impedance of the contacts 50 and maintaining the mobility of the movable insulator more pronounced. 【0143】 In one contact 50, at least one of the first connecting portion 53 and the second connecting portion 55 has a second portion. This makes it difficult for the connector 10 to transmit the effects of stress and other factors when the elastic portion 54 undergoes elastic deformation to the components located from the corresponding base to the end of the contact 50. For example, the connector 10 can reduce the stress generated in the mounting portion 52 when the elastic portion 54 undergoes elastic deformation. Therefore, the connector 10 can reduce damage to the mounting portion 52, such as solder cracks, and improve the reliability of the product. 【0144】 A pair of first base portions 51 face each other on their second surfaces in the direction of the arrangement of multiple pairs of contacts 50. This allows the connector 10 to be designed to have a first retained portion included in the first base portion 51 between the elastic portion 54 and the mounting portion 52, thereby further reducing the stress generated in the mounting portion 52 when the elastic portion 54 undergoes elastic deformation. Therefore, the connector 10 can further reduce damage to the mounting portion 52, such as solder cracks, and improve the reliability of the product. In addition, the connector 10 can reduce the stub in the locking portion, thereby reducing the occurrence of branching of the transmission signal in the stub. Therefore, the connector 10 can improve the transmission characteristics in signal transmission. 【0145】 A pair of second base portions 56 face each other on their second surfaces in the direction of the arrangement of multiple pairs of contacts 50. This allows the connector 10 to be designed to have a second retained portion included in the second base portion 56 between the elastic portion 54 and the contact portion 57, thereby further reducing the stress generated at the contact portion 57 when the elastic portion 54 undergoes elastic deformation. Therefore, the connector 10 can improve the reliability of the contact between the object to be connected 70 and the contact 100 at the contact portion 57, thereby improving the reliability of the product. In addition, the connector 10 can reduce the stub in the locking portion, thereby reducing the occurrence of branching of the transmission signal at the stub. Therefore, the connector 10 can improve the transmission characteristics in signal transmission. 【0146】 In connector 10, the distance L0 between the pair of elastic parts 54 is shorter than at least one of the distances L1 and L2, which allows for easy reduction of the characteristic impedance in the elastic parts 54, where the characteristic impedance tends to increase. Connector 10 more significantly demonstrates the above effect of achieving both the adjustment of characteristic impedance necessary for high-speed transmission and the mobility of the movable insulator, while improving the design flexibility. 【0147】 In connector 10, when viewed from the direction of the arrangement of multiple pairs of contacts 50, the width of overlap between a pair of elastic parts 54 is greater than at least one of the width of overlap between a pair of first base parts 51 and a pair of second base parts 56. This allows connector 10 to increase the capacitance C by widening the surface area of ​​the capacitors formed by the pair of elastic parts 54. Consequently, the above-mentioned effect of achieving both adjustment of characteristic impedance and mobility of the movable insulator while improving the design freedom of the contacts 50 becomes more pronounced. 【0148】 The connector 10 is designed so that a pair of contacts 50 are arranged symmetrically with respect to each other along the direction of arrangement of multiple pairs of contacts 50, thereby improving the symmetry between pairs of contacts 50 and improving differential transmission characteristics. In conventional connectors with a pair of contacts of the same shape, the spacing of the elastic parts was determined by the pitch spacing between the pair of contacts, i.e., the spacing between the pair of mounting parts in the direction of arrangement. Unlike such conventional contacts, in the connector 10, since the pair of contacts 50 have different shapes, the spacing between the pair of first surfaces facing each other in the pair of elastic parts 54 can be changed in the left-right direction without changing the pitch spacing. 【0149】 The connector 10 facilitates bending of the contacts 50 by having a pair of first notches 58 on each of the pair of contacts 50. This makes it easy to create the bent structure at the first connecting portion 53 during the manufacturing of the contacts 50. The connector 10 also facilitates bending of the contacts 50 by having a pair of second notches 59 on each of the pair of contacts 50. This makes it easy to create the bent structure at the second connecting portion 55 during the manufacturing of the contacts 50. 【0150】 The connector 10 can improve noise shielding by having a shielding member 60 positioned between one pair of contacts 50 and the other pair for each pair of contacts 50. For example, the inflow of external electromagnetic noise into multiple pairs of contacts 50 and the outflow of electromagnetic noise from multiple pairs of contacts 50 to the outside are effectively reduced. For example, crosstalk between multiple contacts 50 is effectively reduced. As a result, the connector 10 can obtain good transmission characteristics for high-frequency signals even in high-speed transmission. The effects described above also apply to the modifications described later, such as when the shielding member 60 shields one contact 50 from another contact 50, and when three or more contacts 50 are treated as a set and one set shields another set. 【0151】 According to the connector 10 of the above embodiment, good transmission characteristics in signal transmission can be obtained even when a floating structure is used. The connector 10 has a first shielding member 60a which has a first shielding portion 61a, thereby improving the noise shielding effect in the longitudinal direction of the connector 10. 【0152】 In the connector 10, the first shielding portion 61a is movable relative to the first insulator 20 as the second insulator 30 moves, and is therefore movable together with the portion of the contact 50 that is located on the second insulator 30 side. Consequently, even during floating operation, contact between the first shielding portion 61a and the contact 50 is reduced. 【0153】 The connector 10, having a first shielding member 60a with a second shielding portion 62a, exhibits the above-mentioned effect of improving the noise shielding effect in the short-side direction of the connector 10. 【0154】 The connector 10, by having a second shielding member 60b in addition to the first shielding member 60a, exhibits a more pronounced effect in improving the noise shielding effect described above. 【0155】 The connector 10 exhibits a more pronounced improvement in noise shielding effect in the longitudinal direction of the connector 10, as the second shielding member 60b has a third shielding portion 61b. 【0156】 The connector 10 exhibits a more pronounced improvement in noise shielding in the short-side direction of the connector 10, as the second shielding member 60b has a fourth shielding portion 62b. 【0157】 The connector 10 has the first shielding member 60a and the second shielding member 60b connected to each other, so the first shielding member 60a and the second shielding member 60b can be configured as a single shielding member 60, which makes it possible to further improve the noise shielding effect described above. 【0158】 The connector 10 can further improve the overall noise shielding effect by having multiple first shielding members 60a arranged in at least one of the first and second directions. 【0159】 The connector 10 can further improve the overall noise shielding effect by having multiple second shielding members 60b arranged in at least one of the first and second directions. 【0160】 In the connector 10, the distance between the second base 56 and the first shielding member 60a remains constant even when the second insulator 30 moves, thereby reducing disturbances in the characteristic impedance of the contact 50 at the second base 56. Therefore, even when a floating structure is used, the connector 10 can obtain good transmission characteristics in signal transmission. 【0161】 The distance between the elastic portion 54 of the contact 50 and the first shielding member 60a is greater than the distance between the second base portion 56 and the first shielding member 60a. As a result, the connector 10 can reduce the change in characteristic impedance even when the distance between the elastic portion 54 and the first shielding member 60a changes due to the elastic deformation of the elastic portion 54. 【0162】 The distance between the elastic portion 54 of the contact 50 and the second shielding member 60b is greater than the distance between the first base portion 51 and the second shielding member 60b. As a result, the connector 10 can reduce the change in characteristic impedance even when the distance between the elastic portion 54 and the second shielding member 60b changes due to the elastic deformation of the elastic portion 54. 【0163】 In the connector 10, the distance between the first base 51 and the second shielding member 60b remains constant even when the second insulator 30 moves, thereby reducing disturbances in the characteristic impedance of the contact 50 at the first base 51. Therefore, even when a floating structure is used, the connector 10 can obtain good transmission characteristics in signal transmission. 【0164】 In the mated state, the connector module 1 allows the first shielding member 60a and the shielding member 110 to be considered as a single shielding member, as they are in contact with each other, thereby further improving the noise shielding effect. 【0165】 By including a metal material with a low elastic modulus in the contact 50, the connector 10 can ensure the required range of motion of the second insulator 30 even when the force applied to the second insulator 30 is small. The second insulator 30 can move smoothly relative to the first insulator 20. As a result, the connector 10 can easily absorb misalignment when mating with the object to be connected 70. 【0166】 The connector 10 absorbs vibrations caused by external factors through the elastic deformation of the contact 50. This reduces the possibility of large forces being applied to the mounting portion 52 of the contact 50. Therefore, damage to the connection portion with the circuit board CB1 is reduced. Cracks in the solder at the connection portion between the circuit board CB1 and the mounting portion 52 can be reduced. Therefore, connection reliability is improved even when the connector 10 and the object to be connected 70 are connected. 【0167】 The metal fitting 40 is press-fitted onto the first insulator 20, and the mounting portion 41 is soldered to the circuit board CB1, thereby enabling the metal fitting 40 to stably fix the first insulator 20 to the circuit board CB1. The metal fitting 40 improves the mounting strength of the first insulator 20 to the circuit board CB1. 【0168】 It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this disclosure can be implemented in other predetermined forms besides the embodiments described above without deviating from its spirit or essential features. Therefore, the prior description is illustrative and not limiting. The scope of the disclosure is defined not by the prior description but by the added claims. Any modifications within their equivalent scope are included therein. 【0169】 For example, the shape, size, arrangement, orientation, and number of each component described above are not limited to those shown in the above description and drawings. The shape, size, arrangement, orientation, and number of each component may be configured arbitrarily, as long as they can achieve their function. 【0170】 The assembly method of the connector 10 and the object to be connected 70 described above is not limited to the above description. The assembly method of the connector 10 and the object to be connected 70 may be any method as long as they can be assembled in such a way that their respective functions are performed. 【0171】 For example, at least one of the metal fittings 40, contacts 50, and shielding members 60 may be integrally molded with the first insulator 20 by insert molding rather than press-fitting. For example, at least one of the contacts 50 and shielding members 60 may be integrally molded with the second insulator 30 by insert molding rather than press-fitting. For example, at least one of the metal fittings 90, contacts 100, and shielding members 110 may be integrally molded with the insulator 80 by insert molding rather than press-fitting. 【0172】 In the above embodiment, it was explained that the entirety of the pair of elastic parts 54 faces each other with their first surfaces facing each other, but this is not limited to this. Parts of the pair of elastic parts 54 may face each other with their first surfaces facing each other. The remaining parts of the pair of elastic parts 54 may face each other with their second surfaces facing each other, or one may face the first surface and the other the second surface facing each other. 【0173】 In the above embodiment, the first connecting portion 53a and the second connecting portion 55a were described as having a first part 53a1 and a first part 55a1, respectively, but the embodiment is not limited thereto. Either the first connecting portion 53a or the second connecting portion 55a may have only the first part, or neither may have the first part. 【0174】 In the above embodiment, the first connecting portion 53b and the second connecting portion 55b were described as having a first portion 53b1 and a first portion 55b1, respectively, but this is not limited to this. Either the first connecting portion 53b or the second connecting portion 55b may have only the first portion, or neither may have the first portion. 【0175】 In the above embodiment, the orientation of the rolled surface of the contact 50 differs for each component, but this is not limited to this. The rolled surface of the contact 50 may be the same for each component, with the surface facing a predetermined direction, for example, the front-to-back direction. 【0176】 In the above embodiment, the pair of elastic parts 54 were described as facing each other in the direction of the arrangement of the multiple pairs of contacts 50 with their first faces facing each other, but this is not limited to this. The pair of elastic parts 54 may face each other in any direction with their first faces facing each other. For example, in the case of the contact 50 according to the above modified example, in which the rolling surface is the same for each component as the surface facing the front-rear direction, the pair of elastic parts 54 may face each other in the front-rear direction with their first faces facing each other. 【0177】 In this modified example, the front-to-back distance between a pair of opposing first surfaces in a pair of elastic parts 54 may be greater than at least one of the front-to-back distance between a pair of first base parts 51 and the front-to-back distance between a pair of second base parts 56. In conventional pairs of contacts having the same shape, the distance between the elastic parts was determined by the pitch distance between the pair of contacts, i.e., the distance between the pair of mounting parts in the alignment direction. Unlike such conventional contacts, in the connector 10, since the pair of contacts 50 have different shapes, the front-to-back distance between a pair of opposing first surfaces in a pair of elastic parts 54 can be changed without changing the pitch distance. In this modified example, the elastic parts 54 may be cut out on the left-to-right outer side so that they can be easily elastically deformed in the contact 50, so that the width of the elastic parts 54 in the left-to-right direction is small while the pair of elastic parts 54 face each other in the front-to-back direction. 【0178】 In this modified example, the first plane of the first connecting portion 53 connecting the first base portion 51 and the elastic portion 54 may be located in the same plane as the first plane of the elastic portion 54. The first connecting portion 53 may have a portion that extends toward the other contact 50 along the alignment direction so as to bring the elastic portion 54 closer to the elastic portion 54 of the other contact 50 along the alignment direction of the multiple pairs of contacts 50. The first connecting portion 53 may further have a portion that bends toward the elastic portion 54 in the fitting direction from that portion. More specifically, the first connecting portion 53 may further have a portion that bends toward the elastic portion 54 in the fitting direction at an angle of approximately 90° from that portion. 【0179】 In this modified example, the first plane of the second connecting portion 55 connecting the second base portion 56 and the elastic portion 54 may be located in the same plane as the first plane of the elastic portion 54. The second connecting portion 55 may have a portion that extends toward the other contact 50 along the direction of arrangement of the multiple pairs of contacts 50 so as to bring the elastic portion 54 closer to the elastic portion 54 of the other contact 50 along the direction of arrangement of the multiple pairs of contacts 50. The second connecting portion 55 may further have a portion that bends toward the elastic portion 54 in the fitting direction from that portion. More specifically, the second connecting portion 55 may further have a portion that bends toward the elastic portion 54 in the fitting direction at an angle of approximately 90° from that portion. 【0180】 In the above embodiment, the first connecting portion 53a and the second connecting portion 55a were described as having second portions 53a2 and 55a2, respectively, but this is not limited to this. Either the first connecting portion 53a or the second connecting portion 55a may have only the second portion, or neither may have a second portion. 【0181】 In the above embodiment, the first connecting portion 53b and the second connecting portion 55b were described as having second portions 53b2 and 55b2, respectively, but this is not limited to this. Either the first connecting portion 53b or the second connecting portion 55b may have only the second portion, or neither may have a second portion. 【0182】 In the above embodiment, the pair of first base portions 51 were described as facing each other in the arrangement direction of the multiple pairs of contacts 50 with their second surfaces parallel to the thickness direction of the contact 50, but this is not limited to this. The pair of first base portions 51 may face each other with their first surfaces facing each other, or one may face the first surface and the other the second surface. The pair of first base portions 51 may face each other in any direction. 【0183】 In the above embodiment, the pair of second base portions 56 were described as facing each other in the arrangement direction of the multiple pairs of contacts 50 with their second surfaces parallel to the thickness direction of the contact 50, but this is not limited to this. The pair of second base portions 56 may face each other with their first surfaces facing each other, or one may face the first surface and the other the second surface. The pair of second base portions 56 may face each other in any direction. 【0184】 In the above embodiment, it was explained that in the arrangement direction of the multiple pairs of contacts 50, the distance L0 between a pair of centerlines of a pair of elastic parts 54 is shorter than the distance L1 between a pair of centerlines of a pair of first base parts 51 and the distance L2 between a pair of centerlines of a pair of second base parts 56, but this is not limited to this. The distance L0 may be shorter than either the distance L1 or the distance L2. 【0185】 In the above embodiment, when viewed from the direction of arrangement of the multiple pairs of contacts 50, the width of overlap between a pair of elastic portions 54 in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the contacts 50 is described as being greater than the width of overlap between a pair of first base portions 51 and a pair of overlap between second base portions 56, but this is not limited to this. The width of overlap between a pair of elastic portions 54 may be greater than either the width of overlap between a pair of first base portions 51 or a pair of overlap between second base portions 56. 【0186】 In the above embodiment, it was described that a pair of contacts 50 are arranged symmetrically with respect to each other along the arrangement direction of the multiple pairs of contacts 50, but this is not limited to this. A pair of contacts 50 may be arranged asymmetrically with respect to each other along the arrangement direction of the multiple pairs of contacts 50. 【0187】 In the above embodiment, neither the first insulator 20 nor the second insulator 30 is interposed between the pair of contacts 50 in the first connection portion 53 and the second connection portion 55, but the embodiment is not limited to this. An insulator may be interposed between the pair of contacts 50 in at least one of the first connection portion 53 and the second connection portion 55. For example, in the first connection portion 53, the first insulator 20 may be interposed between the pair of contacts 50. For example, in the second connection portion 55, the second insulator 30 may be interposed between the pair of contacts 50. 【0188】 The connector 10 is not limited to the above configuration in which an insulator is interposed, and other insulators such as insulating films may be interposed between the pair of contacts 50 in at least one of the first connection portion 53 and the second connection portion 55. In at least one of the first connection portion 53 and the second connection portion 55, an insulator such as resin may be attached to the surface of at least one of the pair of contacts 50. In addition, the connector 10 may have an additional shielding member. The shielding member may cover all the mating recesses 33 located in the second insulator 30 from above so as to hide the pair of elastic portions 54, or it may cover the gap portion on the outside in the front-rear direction of the first shielding member 60a from the outside in the front-rear direction. 【0189】 As described above, the connector 10 can reduce the risk of a pair of elastic parts 54 with a narrow spacing in the direction of arrangement of multiple pairs of contacts 50 coming into contact with each other, or of a short circuit occurring due to foreign matter getting between a pair of elastic parts 54. 【0190】 In the above embodiment, the connector 10 is described as further having a shielding member 60 positioned between one pair of contacts 50 and the other, but is not limited thereto. The connector 10 does not have to have such a shielding member 60. 【0191】 In the above embodiment, the shielding member 60 was described as having a shape along three consecutive sides of a rectangle when viewed from above, but it is not limited to this. The shielding member 60 may be a perfect rectangle when viewed from above, or it may be any other shape such as a circle, semicircle, U-shape, or C-shape. 【0192】 In the above embodiment, it was explained that each surface of the shielding member 60 is flat, but this is not the case. Each surface of the shielding member 60 may be curved. Each surface of the shielding member 60 may have notches, holes, or other configurations in part, as long as the above-described shielding effect of the shielding member 60 can be maintained. 【0193】 In the above embodiment, the shielding member 60 was described as shielding one pair of contacts 50 from the other pair, but it is not limited to this. The shielding member 60 may shield one contact 50 from the other contacts 50, or it may shield one set of three or more contacts 50 from other sets. 【0194】 In the above embodiment, the shielding member 60 was described as being attached to both the first insulator 20 and the second insulator 30, but this is not limited to that. The shielding member 60 may be attached to only one of the first insulator 20 and the second insulator 30, or it may not be attached to either and may be attached only to the circuit board CB1. 【0195】 In the above embodiment, the first shielding portion 61a is described as being arranged in a pair in the left-right direction on the first shielding member 60a, but this is not limited to this. The first shielding portion 61a may be arranged on only one side in the left-right direction on the first shielding member 60a. 【0196】 In the above embodiment, the first shielding portion 61a was described as being movable relative to the first insulator 20 as the second insulator 30 moves, but it is not limited to this. The first shielding member 60a, including the first shielding portion 61a, may be fixed in place. 【0197】 In the above embodiment, the first shielding member 60a was described as having a second shielding portion 62a, but it is not limited to this. The first shielding member 60a does not have to have a second shielding portion 62a. 【0198】 In the above embodiment, the connector 10 was described as having a second shielding member 60b, but it is not limited to this. The connector 10 may have only the first shielding member 60a and not the second shielding member 60b. 【0199】 In the above embodiment, the second shielding member 60b was described as having a third shielding portion 61b, but it is not limited to this. The second shielding member 60b does not have to have a third shielding portion 61b. 【0200】 In the above embodiment, the third shielding portion 61b was described as being arranged in a pair in the left-right direction on the second shielding member 60b, but this is not limited to this. The third shielding portion 61b may be arranged on only one side in the left-right direction on the second shielding member 60b. 【0201】 In the above embodiment, the second shielding member 60b was described as having a fourth shielding portion 62b, but it is not limited to this. The second shielding member 60b does not have to have a fourth shielding portion 62b. 【0202】 In the above embodiment, the first shielding member 60a and the second shielding member 60b were described as being connected to each other, but this is not the case. The first shielding member 60a and the second shielding member 60b do not have to be connected to each other. 【0203】 In the above embodiment, it was explained that the second shielding members 60b are arranged in multiples in the first direction and the second direction, but this is not limited to this. The second shielding members 60b may be arranged in multiples in only one of the first and second directions, or they may not be arranged in multiples in either direction. 【0204】 In the above embodiment, the adjacent pair of second shielding members 60b are not connected to each other, but are not limited to this. The adjacent pair of second shielding members 60b may be connected to each other. For example, the adjacent pair of second shielding members 60b may be connected to each other based on a configuration similar to the connecting portion 67 that connects the first shielding member 60a and the second shielding member 60b. 【0205】 The connector 10 has adjacent pairs of second shielding members 60b connected to each other, making it possible to configure the adjacent pairs of second shielding members 60b as a single shielding member 60, thereby further improving the noise shielding effect described above. 【0206】 In the above embodiment, it was explained that a pair of adjacent second shielding members 60b in the first direction are in contact with each other via surface contact by a pair of fourth shielding portions 62b, but this is not limited to this. A pair of adjacent second shielding members 60b may have a contact structure in which they slide against each other at the first spring piece 65b or the second spring piece 66b instead of, or in addition to, such surface contact. 【0207】 In the above embodiment, the distance between the first base 51 and the second shielding member 60b was described as remaining constant even when the second insulator 30 moves relative to the first insulator 20, but this is not limited to this. The distance between the first base 51 and the second shielding member 60b may change when the second insulator 30 moves relative to the first insulator 20. 【0208】 Even in such a case, since the pair of contacts 50 are close to each other along their alignment direction, it is possible to adjust the characteristic impedance between the pair of contacts 50 without relying on the second shielding member 60b. Therefore, unlike the case where the pair of contacts 50 are far apart along their alignment direction, it is not essential to keep the distance between the contacts 50 and the second shielding member 60b constant so as not to disturb the characteristic impedance. In the above embodiment, from the standpoint of adjusting the characteristic impedance, the connector 10 does not need to have the second shielding member 60b. 【0209】 In the above embodiment, it was explained that the first shielding members 60a are arranged in multiples in the first direction and the second direction, but this is not limited to this. The first shielding members 60a may be arranged in multiples in only one of the first and second directions, or they may not be arranged in multiples in either direction. 【0210】 In the above embodiment, the adjacent pair of first shielding members 60a are not connected to each other, but are not limited thereto. The adjacent pair of first shielding members 60a may be connected to each other. For example, the adjacent pair of first shielding members 60a may be connected to each other based on a component similar to the connecting portion 67 that connects the first shielding member 60a and the second shielding member 60b. For example, the adjacent pair of first shielding members 60a may have a contact structure that allows them to slide against each other based on a component similar to the first spring piece 65b or the second spring piece 66b. 【0211】 Figure 18 is a top-view perspective view of a modified connector 10, showing a pair of contacts 50 and shielding members 60. In the above embodiment, as shown in Figure 12 and others, the connecting portion 67 extends from the lower edge of the second shielding portion 62a in a J-shape, and then bends in an inverted U-shape to connect with the upper edge of the fourth shielding portion 62b, but the embodiment is not limited to this. 【0212】 As shown in Figure 18, the connecting portion 67 may have a contact spring structure. The connecting portion 67 may extend diagonally upward from the upper edge of the fourth shielding portion 62b toward the second shielding portion 62a. The connecting portion 67 may contact the surface of the second shielding portion 62a while having spring elasticity. The connecting portion 67 maintains contact with the surface of the second shielding portion 62a by the contact spring structure even when the first shielding member 60a moves relative to the first insulator 20 as the second insulator 30 moves. In this way, the connecting portion 67 maintains the connection between the first shielding member 60a and the second shielding member 60b. 【0213】 The connector 10 has adjacent pairs of first shielding members 60a connected to each other, which allows the adjacent pairs of first shielding members 60a to be configured as a single shielding member 60, thereby further improving the noise shielding effect described above. 【0214】 In the above embodiment, the distance between the second base 56 and the first shielding member 60a was described as remaining constant even when the second insulator 30 moves relative to the first insulator 20, but this is not limited to this. The distance between the second base 56 and the first shielding member 60a may change when the second insulator 30 moves relative to the first insulator 20. 【0215】 Even in such a case, since the pair of contacts 50 are close to each other along their alignment direction, it is possible to adjust the characteristic impedance between the pair of contacts 50 without relying on the first shielding member 60a. Therefore, unlike the case where the pair of contacts 50 are far apart from each other along their alignment direction, a complex movable structure of the first shielding member 60a that keeps the distance between the contacts 50 and the first shielding member 60a constant so as not to disturb the characteristic impedance is not essential. In the above embodiment, from the viewpoint of adjusting the characteristic impedance, the connector 10 does not need to have the first shielding member 60a. 【0216】 In the above embodiment, the distance between the elastic portion 54 of the contact 50 and the first shielding member 60a was described as being greater than the distance between the second base portion 56 and the first shielding member 60a, but this is not limited to this. The distance between the elastic portion 54 of the contact 50 and the first shielding member 60a may be less than or equal to the distance between the second base portion 56 and the first shielding member 60a. 【0217】 In the above embodiment, the distance between the elastic portion 54 of the contact 50 and the second shielding member 60b was described as being greater than the distance between the first base portion 51 and the second shielding member 60b, but this is not limited to this. The distance between the elastic portion 54 of the contact 50 and the second shielding member 60b may be less than or equal to the distance between the first base portion 51 and the second shielding member 60b. 【0218】 In the above embodiment, the first shielding member 60a was described as having a first retained portion 63a that extends linearly upward from the center of the upper edge of the second shielding portion 62a, but it is not limited to this. The first retained portion 63a may have any shape and any arrangement on the first shielding member 60a. 【0219】 In the above embodiment, the second shielding member 60b was described as having a second held portion 63b that extends linearly upward from the upper end at the front-rear end of the third shielding portion 61b, but it is not limited to this. The second held portion 63b may have any shape and arrangement on the second shielding member 60b. 【0220】 In the above embodiment, it was explained that the first shielding member 60a and the shielding member 110 are in contact with each other in a mated state in which the connector 10 and the object to be connected 70 are fitted together, but the embodiment is not limited to this. In the mated state, the first shielding member 60a and the shielding member 110 do not have to be in contact with each other. 【0221】 In the above embodiment, the "first direction" was explained as meaning the front-to-back direction as an example, but it is not limited to this. The first direction may be any direction that intersects the fitting direction when the object to be connected 70 and the second insulator 30 are fitted together. 【0222】 In the above embodiment, the "second direction" was explained as meaning the left-right direction as an example, but it is not limited to this. The second direction may be any direction that intersects the fitting direction when the object to be connected 70 and the second insulator 30 are fitted together, and the first direction. 【0223】 Although contact 50 is described as including, but not limited to, a metallic material with a low elastic modulus, contact 50 may include a metallic material with any elastic modulus, as long as the required amount of elastic deformation can be ensured. 【0224】 Although the object to be connected 70 has been described as a receptacle connector connected to the circuit board CB2, it is not limited to this. The object to be connected 70 may be any object other than a connector. For example, the object to be connected 70 may be an FPC, a flexible flat cable, a rigid board, or the card edge of any circuit board. 【0225】 The connector 10 and connector module 1 described above are mounted on electronic equipment. Electronic equipment includes, for example, any in-vehicle equipment such as cameras, radar, drive recorders, and engine control units. Electronic equipment includes, for example, any in-vehicle equipment used in in-vehicle systems such as car navigation systems, advanced driver-assistance systems, and security systems. Electronic equipment includes, for example, any information equipment such as personal computers, smartphones, copiers, printers, fax machines, and multifunction devices. In addition, electronic equipment includes any industrial equipment. 【0226】 Such electronic devices can achieve good transmission characteristics in signal transmission while maintaining the mobility of the movable insulator. The good floating structure of the connector 10 absorbs misalignment between circuit boards, improving workability when assembling electronic devices. Manufacturing of electronic devices becomes easier. The connector 10 reduces damage to the connection part with the circuit board CB1. For example, damage such as solder cracks in the mounting part 52 of the contact 50 is reduced. Therefore, defects such as deformation and damage of the contact 50 are reduced. As a result, the reliability of electronic devices having the connector 10 as products is improved. 【0227】 The following concepts can be extracted from this disclosure.
