A terminal fitting (20) includes a mating side connecting portion (26), a board connecting portion (27) and a bent portion (28) arranged between the board connecting portion (27) and the mating side connecting portion (26). The mating side connecting portion (26) and the board connecting portion (27) are connected substantially at a right angle via the bent portion (28). The housing (60) includes a press-fit hole (65) into which the mating side connecting portion (26) is to be press-fit, and a back surface (68) facing the board connecting portion (27). The back surface (68) of the housing (60) includes a retracted portion (71) retracted in a direction separating from the board connecting portion (27).

A connector is mateable with a mating connector along a front-rear direction. The connector comprises at least one contact and a holding member. The at least one contact has a first support portion, a second support portion, a first contact portion, a second contact portion and a coupling portion. The first support portion has a first edge in a width direction. The coupling portion has an upper main portion and an upper bent portion. The upper main portion has an upper front wide portion, an upper front narrow portion and an upper base portion. The upper front narrow portion has an edge facing a first orientation. The at least one contact has a first boundary portion between the first edge of the first support portion and the upper front wide portion in the front-rear direction. The edge of the upper front narrow portion is positioned beyond the first boundary portion in a second orientation.

An electrical connector for a multi-wire electrical cable includes at least two cable-side electrical contact elements, including associated terminals to each of which is to be connected a wire of the electrical cable, and at least two output-side electrical contact elements, from each of which projects an electrical connector element by which an electrical connection is establishable to a mating connector. A carrier body is disposed between the cable-side electrical contact elements and the output-side electrical contact elements. The cable-side electrical contact elements, the output-side electrical contact elements and the carrier body are disposed in a spaced-apart relationship to each other, and the cable-side and output-side contact elements are electrically connected to each other via an electrical device disposed on the carrier body.

A connector mateable with a mating connector includes at least one contact and a contact-holding member. The contact has resiliently deformable first and second support, first and second contact, and a coupling portions. The first and second contact portions, movable in an up-down direction perpendicular to a front-rear direction, are supported by the first and second support portions, respectively. The first support portion has first and second edges in a width direction perpendicular to the front-rear and up-down directions, the edges facing first and second orientations, respectively, which are opposite to each other of the width direction. The coupling portion couples the first and second support portions, and has upper main and bent portions. The upper main portion has upper front wide, fixed to the holding member to be immovable in the width direction, front narrow and base portions.

An electrical connector for a multi-wire electrical cable includes two cable-side electrical contact elements, including associated terminals to each of which is to be connected a wire of the electrical cable, as well as two output-side electrical contact elements, from each of which projects an electrical connector element by which an electrical connection can be established to a mating connector. A carrier body is disposed between the cable-side contact elements and the output-side contact elements. The carrier body forms a support region which extends from a first connecting section to a second connecting section and with which both the cable-side and the output-side contact elements are in connection. At each of the two connecting sections, a respective supporting section of the carrier body extends from the support region in such a way that the support region and the two supporting sections form a ring-shaped circumferential structure.
