Abstract
In a connector having a plurality of first contact groups arranged in a predetermined pattern, conductors whose one ends are connected to the first contact groups, and a plurality of second contact groups arranged in a pattern corresponding to the pattern of the first contact groups, the conductors for connecting the first contact groups and the second contact groups cause portions of the first contact groups to be connected to the second contact groups at different positions within the above-described pattern. Accordingly, even when the contacts of the same sort of signal lines having one-to-one correspondence are allocated to the contact conductors located at the same positions within the boards for constituting the respective modules, the one-to-one correspondence can be maintained, and thus the printed-circuit boards of the modules can be commonly utilized.
