Abstract
A slide connector has a garment-side connector portion and a module-side connector portion to be fitted with the garment-side connector portion in a fitting plane. The garment-side connector portion includes first contact portions each having a contact surface parallel to the fitting plane and at least one locking portion having a locking surface parallel to the fitting plane. The module-side connector portion includes second contact portions each elastically movable and at least one portion to be locked extending in parallel to the fitting plane. As the module-side connector portion is superimposed on the garment-side connector portion and slid along the fitting plane, each second contact portion comes into contact with the contact surface of a corresponding first contact portion to establish electrical connection, and the at least one portion to be locked comes into contact with the locking surface of the at least one locking portion.
