1. A connector connecting a conductor portion of an electric wire to a contact portion exposed on a bottom surface of a sheet type connection object, the connector comprising:
an insulator forming at least a part of a conductor-portion placement surface on which the conductor portion of the electric wire is placed; and
a pressing portion being retained by the insulator to project from the conductor-portion placement surface in a direction orthogonal to the conductor-portion placement surface and extending toward a predetermined first direction along the conductor-portion placement surface,
wherein the pressing portion is elastically deformable in the direction orthogonal to the conductor-portion placement surface, and
wherein the conductor portion of the electric wire extending from the first direction along the conductor-portion placement surface is disposed between the conductor-portion placement surface and the pressing portion, and the connection object is sandwiched between the pressing portion passed through an opening portion of the connection object extending from a second direction along the conductor-portion placement surface and the conductor portion of the electric wire, the second direction being an opposite direction from the first direction, whereby the contact portion of the connection object makes contact with and is electrically connected to the conductor portion of the electric wire.
