Abstract
A connector of a simple structure adapted to absorb a positional deviation which occurs when a plug and a receptacle are fitted into each other, without spoiling the strength of the connector is provided. The connector has a plug, and a receptacle into which the plug is fitted. A receptacle housing holding receptacle contacts and formed out of an insulating material is provided with projecting portions extending in the direction crossing the fitting direction. A plug housing holding plug contacts is provided with wall portions having recesses which extend in the fitting direction, and which are capable of having the projecting portions provided on the receptacle housing engaged therewith. The width of the projecting portions is smaller than that of the recesses, and the receptacle engaged with the plug housing swings in the direction crossing the fitting direction to absorb a deviation of the position of the connector.
