1. A connector comprising:
a terminal;
a first housing; and
a second housing capable of moving with respect to the first housing;
wherein the terminal includes
a first retained portion retained in the first housing,
a second retained portion retained in the second housing, and
an intermediate portion coupling the first retained portion and the second retained portion together; and
taking a plate width direction of the first retained portion as a first plate width direction, then a plate thickness direction of the second retained portion faces in a direction intersecting with a plane perpendicular to the first plate width direction;
the intermediate portion includes a plate thickness direction switching portion; and
the plate thickness direction switching portion includes
a switching-bend portion bent in a plate thickness direction,
a first plate face portion formed further to a side of the first retained portion with respect to the switching-bend portion and having a plate thickness direction facing in a direction parallel to a plane perpendicular to the first plate width direction, and
a second plate face portion formed further to a side of the second retained portion with respect to the switching-bend portion and having a plate thickness direction facing in a direction intersecting with a plane perpendicular to the first plate width direction.
