1. A connector comprising a plurality of terminals and a housing which holds the terminals, wherein:
the terminals comprise first terminals and second terminals;
the first terminals and the second terminals are alternately arranged in a pitch direction;
each of the first terminals has a first mount portion, a held portion, a first contact portion, a second contact portion and a supporting portion;
each of the second terminals has a held portion, a first contact portion, a second contact portion, a supporting portion, an extension portion and a second mount portion;
in the first terminal, the held portion is located between the first mount portion and the first contact portion;
for each of the first terminal and the second terminal, the held portion is held by the housing;
in each of the first terminal and the second terminal, the supporting portion is resiliently deformable at least in part and extends from the first contact portion to support the second contact portion;
in each of the first terminal and the second terminal, the second contact portion faces the first contact portion in a width direction perpendicular to the pitch direction and is movable in the width direction by using resilient deformation of the supporting portion;
in the second terminal, the extension portion extends from the second contact portion;
in the second terminal, the second mount portion is formed in a part of the extension portion; and
the second mount portion is located apart from the first mount portion in the width direction.
