Abstract

A connecting structure is provided for miniaturizing a substrate connector. The substrate connector 37 is fitted to a wiring substrate 17 accommodated in a meter casing 15. The meter casing 15 is provided with a guide part 15b which operates as a guide for a mating connector 41 when it is engaged with the substrate connector 37. Owing to the provision of the guide part 15b, it is possible to prevent the mating connector 41 from being engaged with the substrate connector 37 while the connector 41 is inclined to the connector 37.
