Abstract

The auxiliary structure for connecting a connector for use in portable telephones of the present invention provides structure for connecting a connector for charging a telephone body and/or performing data communication with the telephone body to a socket exposed from an opening provided on the telephone body. Removably attached to the opening is a connecting auxiliary member which is made of softer material than the one used for a casing of the telephone body. The connecting auxiliary member is formed with an insertion hole for the connector to be fitted into and formed with a guide face for guiding an end portion of the connector to a position of engagement with the socket. Accordingly, when the connector is connected to the socket of the telephone body, the end portion of the connector can easily be engaged with the socket, and the connector is unlikely to be damaged.
