A connector that absorbs alignment error to be connected to a pin-shaped conducting member of the counterpart. This connector includes a base housing to be arranged on a printed circuit board, a slide housing being slidably supported in relation to the base housing in a plane crossing the longitudinal direction of the conducting member of the counterpart, and at least one contact spanning both the housings and being fixed to both the housings and being to be soldered on the printed circuit board. Said slide housing having at least one inlet hole of which one end faces to and opens to the contact and the other end expands toward the end and opens to the conducting member of the counterpart. This connector can effectively absorb alignment error and prevent occurrence of connection failure and defective connection to increase the reliability and enhance the workability of assembly of printed circuit boards.
