Abstract
A socket body of a connector has an engaging rib provided on the bottom of an insertion slot thereof. The engaging rib has an engaging recess provided in the distal end while a header body of the connector has an engaging slot provided for engaging with the engaging rib and also an engaging projection provided at the engaging slot for engaging with the engaging recess. When the engaging rib is inserted into the engaging slot and the engaging recess accepts the engaging projection, the socket body remains free from any adverse impact at its end portions and can thus be protected from damage. This also allows the end portions to be reduced in thickness, thus decreasing the dimensions of the connector. Moreover, as the positioning accuracy between the socket body and the heater body is improved, the electrical connection between a socket and a header of the connector will be ensured without contact error.
