Abstract

The board-to-board connector has a configuration in which first stage fitting guides (18a) are arranged on an inner end of side wall portions (14) of a first housing (11) of a first connector (1), an island portion (13) is arranged in a concave portion (12a) surrounded by the side wall portions, second stage fitting guides (22a) are arranged on four corners of the first housing, fitting surfaces (18) of the side wall portions are at the same surface as a fitting surface of the island portion, and a gap between the fitting guides on both side wall portions is set to a predetermined value. Owing to this configuration, a fumbling tight-fitting operation is made easy, and it is thus possible to complete the tight-fitting operation in a short period of time and in an accurate manner. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a board to board connector which has good operability and high reliability.
