Abstract
In a connector having a principal surface (44a) to be faced to an object in a first direction (A1) and a guide portion (45) protruding from the principal surface in the first direction for guiding connection of the connector and the object, the guide portion has elasticity so as to be elastically bent in a second direction (A2) transverse to the first direction. It is preferable that the guide portion has a slit (51) to provide the elasticity.
