Connector

A plurality of contacts (211) is caused to make contact with a plurality of contact pads arranged on a mating face of a mating connector in a two-dimensional fashion simultaneously with high contacting quality according to operation. A connector (20) has a base housing (22) and a shell (27) constituting a housing, a plurality of said contacts (211), a slider (23), and a lift plate (24). The connector (20) is mated with the mating connector having a plurality of contact pads arranged in a two-dimensional fashion. The plurality of contacts (211) are arranged in a two-dimensional fashion, and they make contact with a plurality of contact pads of the mating connector, respectively. The slider (23) has a cam face on an upper face (231) thereof, and it is slid in a lateral direction according to a driving operation of a lever (37). The lift plate (24) receives an action of the cam face caused by sliding of the slider (23) to move toward the mating connector. The lift plate (24) pushes the plurality of contacts (211
