Abstract

A connector connecting structure, includes a first connector supported by a holder and a second connector to be connected to the first connector. In the connector connecting structure, there is provided in the holder a support portion including a recessed groove or the like for supporting the first connector in such a manner that the first connector can be slid in a direction where the two connectors can be connected together, while two slide members slidable and displaceable in a direction at right angles to the connecting direction of the two connectors are respectively supported between the holder and first connector. In the structure, there are further provided a drive part which, according to the sliding displacement of the first connector, drives the two slide members so that they can be slid and displaced, and an operation part which can increase the drive force of the slide members and can transmit the thus increased drive force to the connecting portions of the first and second connectors, thereby being able to drive the two connectors in the connecting direction thereof.
