The module-type connector according to the present invention defines the connectable connectors with a rigid supporting plate which extends along the connecting direction in order to make it easy to properly fit a male connector to a female connector. In the module-type connector, the contacting portions of the contacts that are shifted in the separation direction of the corresponding terminal with which the contacting portions contact are almost uniformly distributed. Further, the male connector that receives a preliminary load from different levels in the direction so that opposing elastic contacting portions are widened by engaging between the first end portion of each contact within a housing and the different levels of the housing, has at least a protruding portion that protrudes from the contacting surface of the plurality of contacts toward the contacting surface thereof and that is provided between contacts.
