A connector is provided which includes a plug having a plurality of cables disposed on one side of the plug, and a socket mounted on a base substrate that is used to connect the plug. The plug includes a plate-like member and a flexible substrate fixed to the surroundings of the plate-like member. The plate-like member includes a planar portion approximately parallel to a substrate face of the base substrate, and a bent portion provided on the other side of the plug and extending in a direction approximately perpendicular to the base substrate. The socket includes a mating space which receives the bent portion from a direction approximately perpendicular to the base substrate when the plug and socket are connector-connected.
