Abstract
A module connector has a simple module base connector capable of being used instead of a module socket, thereby allowing connection to wiring members such as an inexpensive flexible flat cable. The module base connector, formed as a thin plate, is interposed between a plurality of terminals of a small-sized module and a wiring member. This base connector includes a fitting frame and a connector housing which are formed integrally. A module fitting part of the fitting frame is provided with a terminal pattern electrically connected to the plurality of terminals of the module housing. The connector housing is provided with connection terminal pieces each having an elastic contact portion connected at one end to the wiring member of a flexible flat board, and a press contact portion connected at the other end to the terminal pattern.
