Connector

1. A connector, the connector comprising:

a first connector, the first connector including a first connector main body and a plurality of first terminals, the first terminals being mounted side by side in the longitudinal direction of the first connector main body on both sides in the transverse direction of the first connector main body, each first terminal including a first contact portion and a second contact portion, the contact portions facing each other; and

a second connector, the second connector including a second connector main body, for mating with the first connector main body, and a plurality of second terminals, the second terminals being mounted side by side in the longitudinal direction of the second connector main body on both sides in the transverse direction of the second connector main body, the first contact portion and the second contact portion each overlap with the corresponding second terminal, the amount of overlap being greater than the amount of clearance in the transverse direction of the first connector main body, each second terminals being inserted between the first contact portion and the second contact portion of the corresponding first terminal and contacting the first terminal when the first connector main body is mated with the second connector main body.

2. The connector of claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the first terminals is the same.

3. The connector of claim 2 , wherein the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the second terminals is the same.

4. The connector of claim 3 , wherein each first terminal further includes a held portion, a first contact portion, a second contact portion and an elastically deformable contact arm portion connected to one end of the held portion, the held portion being held by the first connector main body, the second contact portion being positioned closer to the held portion than the first contact portion.

5. The connector of claim 4 , wherein each first terminals further includes a tail portion, the tail portion being connected at one end to the held portion and connected electrically to a connecting pad on a board, the held portion being positioned farther to the outside in the transverse direction of the first connector main body than the contact arm portion.

6. The connector of claim 1 , wherein each first terminal further includes a held portion, a first contact portion, a second contact portion and an elastically deformable contact arm portion connected to one end of the held portion, the held portion being held by the first connector main body, the second contact portion being positioned closer to the held portion than the first contact portion.

7. The connector of claim 6 , wherein each first terminals further includes a tail portion, the tail portion being connected at one end to the held portion and connected electrically to a connecting pad on a board, the held portion being positioned farther to the outside in the transverse direction of the first connector main body than the contact arm portion.

8. The connector of claim 1 , wherein, among the first terminals, the first terminals positioned on both ends of the first connector main body in the longitudinal direction are wider than the other first terminals.

9. The connector of claim 8 , wherein, among the second terminals, the second terminals positioned on both ends of the second connector main body in the longitudinal direction are wider than the other second terminals.

10. The connector of claim 9 , wherein the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the first terminals is the same.

11. The connector of claim 10 , wherein the longitudinal cross-sectional profile of the second terminals is the same.

12. The connector of claim 11 , wherein each first terminal further includes a held portion, a first contact portion, a second contact portion and an elastically deformable contact arm portion connected to one end of the held portion, the held portion being held by the first connector main body, the second contact portion being positioned closer to the held portion than the first contact portion.

13. The connector of claim 12 , wherein each first terminals further includes a tail portion, the tail portion being connected at one end to the held portion and connected electrically to a connecting pad on a board, the held portion being positioned farther to the outside in the transverse direction of the first connector main body than the contact arm portion.

14. The connector of claim 9 , wherein each first terminal further includes a held portion, a first contact portion, a second contact portion and an elastically deformable contact arm portion connected to one end of the held portion, the held portion being held by the first connector main body, the second contact portion being positioned closer to the held portion than the first contact portion.

15. The connector of claim 14 , wherein each first terminals further includes a tail portion, the tail portion being connected at one end to the held portion and connected electrically to a connecting pad on a board, the held portion being positioned farther to the outside in the transverse direction of the first connector main body than the contact arm portion.
