ABSTRACT:
A connector A has a plurality of connector chambers 32 of a connector housing 31. A plurality of terminals 3 each having an elastic contact piece 3a are accommodated in the connector chambers, respectively, and exposed from the upper face of the connector housing. A connector holding component B constitutes an L-shape composed of a first face and a second face. The connector A is inserted into a connector holding component B through an opening formed in the face so that the lower face of the connector housing 31 is opposite to the second face of the connector holding component B. Between the connector A and the second face of the connector holding component B, a connector contact spring 40 is placed which serves as an elastic member compressible in a direction Q perpendicular to the direction P of inserting the connector A. An auxiliary device C provided with a printed board 10 having connection terminal strips 10a is pushed toward the connector A in a direction Q. Thus, coupling between the printed board 10 and connector A can be made by small force so that the elastic contact pieces 3a and connector terminal strips 10a can be prevented from being damaged or deformed.
