ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides, at a low-manufacturing cost, a connector for connecting circuit boards to each other in which the area used exclusively for fastening the circuit boards is small, the work required in order to connect the circuit boards to each other in an electrically-continuous state is simple, and the connector has a simple structure. The connector for connecting circuit boards to each other comprises an insulating housing (11) which has a spacer member (12) that is disposed between upper and lower circuit boards (40,41), a conductive member (20) with a substantially C-shaped cross section is attached in a positional relationship such that the conductive member clamps onto the spacer member from above and below and establishes electrical continuity between conductive ground pads of the upper and lower circuit boards in a state in which the conductive member (20) is inserted between the upper and lower circuit boards (40,41), and a fastening means (30) fastens the upper and lower circuit boards to each other.
