The first and second contact parts (72, 74) are extended in a cantilever manner from an upper wall (16). A spherical dimple (98) is provided on two reverse bending parts in the position of the overlapped part. Contact stop parts (30, 50) are provided in both side walls (12, 14) of the receptacle contact part.
